I assume that your in the middle of a "getaway". So steer into the slide drop down into a lower gear, (throw the oil out the window at this point it will throw the police into an uncontrollable spin) then accelerate out of the turn. While cackling out the window like a madman. Now race straight to the airport acquire the first seat available on an out of country flight, board plane and escape in style. |

Steer in the direction the back of your car is going, but not a lot, as that will whip your car around the other way. Then you will have to countersteer when your car comes to a straight line. |

steer with it... back goes to the right you steer to the right... back left you steer left... this is only to keep you from spinning... |

Always skid with the sliding, never against, steering against the skid can cause you to flip the vehicle, instead steer with it, the worst will happen is you will turn 180degrees or 360, which is a lot better than on your top! |

And another pointer: The reaction must be instinctive. If you have to think about it then it is too late. Practice in an empty parking lot. |

Steer in the direction of the most pedestrians. Remember that you get extra points for women, children and the elderly.
For extra credit: Try to not let that pesky airbag deploy. It's a real hastle getting all that crap packed back in your steering wheel before the cops arrive. |

Steer out of the skid (if you steer with the skid you will drive off the road). However, do not over-correct (steer too much out of the skid). This will cause your vehicle to begin skidding in the opposite direction. Always steer toward the centre of the road when skidding. |

Depends, if you have front wheel drive lightly tap the gas peddle as you steer out of the skid. Power to the front wheels will pull you out. If you have all wheel drive steer into the skid and no gas.Same for rear wheel drive. |
