Like what Berserkdroid said, u have to steer to the direct of the skid. If the tail went to the right, then steer to the right.. Applying the brakes is a tricky affair during a skid. It can lock up all the 4 wheels and the whole car end up spinning like a block of ice on an ice rink. So the first line of defence is always to countersteer to attempt to try regain control of the car. only when I feel that i can't counter fast enough, then only I'll brake. By then, the car will slide in 1 direction instead of going merry go round. I forgot to mention that the most important is not to panic when the car oversteered. My initial training ground for car control was on the go-kart track. u can breach the limit at a lower speed and it is relatively safer. Then I started going for track days to further hone my skills. For structured track days, there's the HPC track days. There's also the BMW Advanced Driver's Training organised by BMW Malaysia.</blockquote>
