What should you do if your car begins to skid?

Panic and slam on the brakes
Steer the car away from danger
Take your foot off of the gas
All of the above

The correct answer is: Take your foot off of the gas

If your car begins to skid, it is important that you remain calm and do not panic. Option A, panicking and slamming on the brakes, can actually make the skid worse and cause you to lose control of the car. The correct action is to take your foot off of the gas and gently steer the car in the direction you want to go. Steering can help you regain control and prevent the car from veering into danger. Option D, choosing all of the above, is incorrect because only option C provides the correct action to take when your car begins to skid.
