Many drivers will tense up and grip the steering wheel convulsively when they skid. Some might slam on the brakes. Even if they mentally know better.

However, drivers who have practiced sufficiently on skid pads (or empty snow covered parking lots) are a lot more likely to recover smoothly from a skid.

I would have little respect for a driving instructor who tried to teach me to convulsively grip the steering wheel and brake hard in a skid "because that's what you're going to do anyway." YMMV

If anyone disagrees, we can arrange a FOF test at any time using airsoft pistols.

You can stand there and look at your sights and I will move and shoot without looking at my sights. I guarantee that if you stand there, you will be "dead"
Sure. If someone doesn't move they're almost guaranteed to get shot but that's true whether or not they look at their sights, pull the trigger with the middle or index finger, hold the gun vertical or horizontal, and shoot a Colt 1911 or a Glock 19 or a S&W model 27.

Tactics and marksmanship are different things and it could be a grave mistake to confuse the two.
