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.5shot wrote:He will grip his gun convulsively, raise it, point or shove it in the general direction of the enemy, and pull (not squeeze) the trigger.
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
