dont just smash on the brakes, whatever you do. pump the brakes, and keep your wheels straight. dont counter steer excessively. hope this halps a bit.
Steer gently in the direction you want the car to go. As you begin to regain control of the car, gently apply the brakes (assuming you have anti-lock brakes) or the accelerator depending on the type of skid.
Let go of the accelerator, and turn the wheel of the car to the side of the rear in the direction it is turning.
You should go with a Deere or Bobcat skid steer loader. They offer several affordable options.
Take your foot off the gas! Steer into the skid.
If you have a modern car with all-wheel-drive you should point the wheels in the direction you want the car to go. Then, depending on the individual model, you should lightly feather either the accelerator or the brake. If your car is 2-wheel drive you should point your wheels in the direction the car is skidding so the tires can regain their grip. Then GENTLY correct the vehicle's path.

Always turn the wheel into the skid. Turn the wheel into the direction you want the vehicle to go. And this may require turning the wheel several times, or directions to gain complete control to come out if a skid.
When a motor vehicle starts to skid, the first thing you should do is remain calm and avoid slamming on the brakes, as this can worsen the skid. Instead, gently steer in the direction you want the front of the vehicle to go, known as "steering into the skid." This helps regain control of the vehicle. Additionally, once you regain traction, you can then gradually apply the brakes if needed.
The steps for recovering from a skid are as follows: 1. Take foot off gas pedal, but don't touch the brake. 2. Turn into the skid. IE, if the rear end of your car is sliding out to the right, then turn the steering wheel to the right. If it goes to the left, than turn the wheel to the left. 3. As the rear end attempts to center itself behind the front end, turn the steering wheel back to center in a following motion. 4. Sometimes the car will go into a fishtailing type of skid; just follow steps 2 & 3 until the car ceases to skid. 5. After the car straightens out, gently apply the gas and continue on. Note: The reason the car goes into a skid is because the rear wheel begin to lose traction and start to travel (rotate) faster than the front wheels. The previously outlined steps simply correct that situation.
