When driving a car, you need to be very careful. The safety of all road users depends on the driver's ability to navigate in difficult situations. A common problem is skidding on slippery roads, such as in winter or during rain. How to cope with this and get out of the situation without harming yourself or other motorists or pedestrians?

Do not change the speed when cornering - this will not put the following cars in an uncomfortable position and even get into a skid. If you do get skidded, there is no need to apply the brake.
Step 4
