California Driver License (DMV) Written Practice Test

In the event of an unintentional skid, you should make a corrective action by:

Steering in the direction of the skid Slamming on the brakes Downshifting Turning your wheels in the opposite direction

Correct Answer:

Steering in the direction of the skid

Explanation:

When experiencing an unintentional skid, the most important thing to remember is to remain calm. Option B, slamming on the brakes, would likely cause the vehicle to lose more control and potentially cause a spin-out. Downshifting (choice C) is only necessary in manual transmission cars and may not have a significant effect on correcting the skid. Option D, turning your wheels in the opposite direction of the skid, is not recommended as it can cause the vehicle to spin in the opposite direction and potentially crash. Steering in the direction of the skid (choice A) is the best course of action as it will help to straighten the vehicle and allow the tires to regain traction.
