What should you do if your tires begin to skid while driving?

  1. Accelerate to regain control

  2. Brake hard and steer away from the skid

  3. Steer into the direction of the skid, avoid braking, and use emergency braking if necessary

  4. Turn on your emergency flashers

The correct answer is: Accelerate to regain control

When your tires begin to skid while driving, it can be a scary and dangerous situation. Option A is the correct answer because accelerating can help regain control of the vehicle, allowing you to steer out of the skid. Braking hard (Option B) can actually make the skid worse by causing your tires to lose even more traction. Steering into the direction of the skid (Option C) is another correct option, but it's important to avoid braking and use emergency braking only if necessary. Option D may seem like a good idea, but turning on your emergency flashers will not help you regain control of the vehicle and may confuse other drivers.
