Yep, skidding or sliding directionally, steer into the skid, and if there’s a road curve you’re not following, then depending on the road you might be able to gain some control by gently accelerating. But most people in that situation are panicking and will jam on the gas instead, which will only make you go faster into whatever you’re gonna hit. If you’re not following a curve and it’s icy, you’ve already made the mistake. Which brings me to…

In any weather, you should* slow your vehicle before the curve*. Never brake when you’re already curving. By that time you should be gently accelerating to gain control. This is probably the #1 crazy thing I see in the South, people braking while on a curve. If there’s ice or even rain you will lose control that way, and away your car goes.

Practice this on dry roads and you’ll be ready when ice happens.
