    This is the correct explanation right here. Minnesota born and raised and I always heard as steer into your skid but it’s the same principle. When the back end kicks out you steer into the direction the back end swung out to.

    In my much younger years during the winter we stopped turning on corners in the neighborhoods and just e-braked around them to “practice” driving in a skid.

      I still drive a five speed with an e-brake handle in the middle and I do this every opportunity I get in the snow and ice.
