If you start to skid, you should release the brakes and...?

  1. Continue skidding until you stop

  2. Look and steer in the direction you want to go

  3. Apply the brakes harder

  4. Close your eyes and hope for the best

The correct answer is: Look and steer in the direction you want to go

When a vehicle starts to skid, the wheels are no longer able to grip the road and the vehicle is no longer under control. In this situation, it is important to release the brakes and focus on steering in the direction that you want to go. Applying the brakes can make the skid worse and increase the likelihood of losing control. Continuing to skid until you stop is not a safe option as it can lead to accidents or collisions. Closing your eyes and hoping for the best is also not a viable option as it takes away from actively trying to regain control of the vehicle.
