If you get into a skid you should: ease off the gas pedal, stop braking, and turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid....
True!
If a person's car starts to skid on a road, turn the wheel in the direction of the skid. If the car is a front wheel drive, step on the gas pedal slightly. Real wheel drive vehicles require the operator to let off the gas pedal during the skid. Do not panic and slam on the brakes because this could cause the car to roll over when it gains traction.
Will skid.
The past tense of skid is skidded. Your car may skid in the rain. My car skidded across the intersection.
When a car skids, the rear end of the car is coming around, a counter skid is when you counter that first skid in an attempt to correct the skid.

I skid because of the ice
To recover from a rear wheel skid, you should turn your wheel in the direction of the skid. For example, if your back wheels are sliding out to the left, you should turn your wheel to the left. The best way to put this into practice is to select a target in the distance that is in the direction you were heading before the skid and aim for it. You'll find you hands and feet will go into autopilot and you don't have to overthink things. Studies show people using the 'target' method will recover faster and with less over-correction than drivers who don't. It is advisable not to brake or suddenly alter your speed when skidding, light acceleration is optional and can help slightly as it transfers more weight onto the back wheels which can help regain traction. You recover from a front wheel skid, point your wheels in the direction you are skidding, ease off the throttle and gently apply the brakes. This will help slow you down and transfer the weight to the front of the vehicle, allowing the front wheels to regain traction.
When the skid happens you will naturally turn your head to look where the car is going, The direction you are looking is the direction of the skid, you are looking to the right, it is a right hand skid.
