You're supposed to steer in the direction of the skid... so if you can see the ass-end of your car coming over your left shoulder, you'd want to steer your wheel to the left. But the mistake everybody makes is to over-correct. So of course then it skids in the other direction...

The best way to learn how your car acts in a skid is to actually put it into a skid, in some icy parking lot sometime, and just practice.

Of course once every car has stability control though, you can just sit there, send a text, "I'm skidding!" and let the car sort it out for itself.
