The first time that their vehicle is out of control, most people make the mistake of trying to slam the steering wheel in the opposite direction to correct things. Doing so only makes the loss of control worse. What you end up wanting to do is straighten up your wheels relative to the road so at the very least your front wheels regain traction.
