This is an FAQ, which many people are too embarassed to actually ask because
they think that everyone else but them has a clue.

``Turn into the skid'' means, essentially, that you need to get your front
wheels pointing in the direction the car is going.

Let me explain with two examples:

In example 1, we have an understeer.  You have turned your wheel too hard, and
the front end has broken loose.  No matter how sharply you turn, your front
wheels no longer have adhesion.  If you turn too sharply and hit your brakes,
the resultant weight transfer may turn your skid into an oversteer.

Cure: turn your wheels so they point in the direction the car is going.  When
your front end is again adhering to the road, try your turn again.

In example 2, we have an oversteer.  You have turned your wheel to the right,
and the back end has broken free and is heading left.  If you hit your brakes,
the skid will become more violent and you might lose your front end as well.
The other common error is to turn too far to the left, which simply changes
the direction of your skid.

Cure: turn your wheels to the left, but only until the direction of the skid
starts changing.  Then get your steering into a neutral position, and when the
car is pointing where you want to go, apply power to transfer weight to the
rear wheels.  NO BRAKES.

``Turn into the skid'' was great in explaining understeering situations, but
becomes very confusing in oversteering situations.  The key to remember is to
get your tires moving with the car, not independently.
