Some basic tips:

What should you do if you start to skid?

•Above all DO NOT PANIC!
•Look where you want your vehicle to go and steer in this direction.
•DO NOT BRAKE!
•DO NOT ACCELERATE!
•Disconnect the driving force on the drive wheels by doing either of the following
•If you're using automatic transmission, shift to neutral. However, if you cannot do that immediately, do not touch the transmission gear.
•If you're using manual transmission, declutch.

How should you brake on a slippery road?

If the emergency does not require slamming the brakes as hard as possible, squeeze braking (also known as threshold braking) along with declutching (manual shift) or shifting to neutral (automatic transmission) will do the job most efficiently.

Braking without anti-lock brakes

•Use the heel-and-toe method. Keep your heel on the floor and use your toes to press the brake pedal firmly just short of locking up the wheels.
•Release the pressure on the pedal, and press again in the same way.
•Repeat this until you come to a full stop.

Braking with anti-lock brakes

Also use heel-and-toe method, but do not remove your foot from the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
