so I'm online doing a traffic course to get some points off of my record. I get to the part about what to do when you "enter a skid"

And I quote:

"To recover from a rear-wheel skid (when the rear of your vehicle feels like it is sliding out from behind you), follow these guidelines:
Continue to look ahead at your path of travel.
Do not apply the brakes, even gently (see below).
Apply steering as necessary to maintain your path of travel.
Avoid turning the steering wheel too fast or too much.
Do not change gears or shift to neutral.
Whether or not your vehicle has anti-lock brakes will have no impact on your ability to regain control in a rear-wheel skid, because you should not apply the brakes at all in this type of skid. Doing so would only transfer more weight away from the rear of the vehicle, further reducing the rear tires’ traction and the driver’s overall control."

Got it? Good :)

hahaha, i did just last night. traffic was unusually heavy because of the interstate backup out on Bruce B Downs, so I am entertaining myself by rolling into the throttle on the wet street and hanging the ass end out toward the white lines. haha, before i knew it I had a 100 yard gap behind me and this was in a traffic jam. :lol:
