4. Keep your distance from the car ahead.

1. How to handle understeer: The car is not turning as much as you would like because the front tires have lost grip. Don't increase your steering angle or hit the brakes, this will only make it worse. Instead: Take your foot off the accelerator and stay off the brake. The weight of your car will now shift forward. Carefully decrease the steering angle. You should be able to gently steer your car back to the desired path.
2. How to handle oversteer: The car is turning more than you want it to because the rear tires have lost grip. Take the following actions, while paying close attention to the response of the car: Gently accelerate. The weight of your car will shift back to the rear wheels. At the same time, steer in the same direction in which the rear end is sliding. Look in the direction you want the car to go. That way, you'll be ready to adjust the car's path as soon as it starts to respond to your corrections.
