What action should you take to correct a braking skid?

Explanation:
When braking skid occurs, the wheels lock and stop turning, removing tire traction and making steering ineffective. The best action is to ease off the brakes to let the wheels start rolling again, which restores rolling friction and lets you regain control; once rolling, straighten the steering and brake gently to stop. Braking harder or steering sharply while the wheels are locked would worsen the skid, and continuing to brake firmly won’t allow the tires to regain grip.
