why do you steer into the skid?

1.26K views

So there was this video of a woman managing to avoid a crash by steering in a special way. I’m learning to drive rn and people keep saying if you skid you steer into it, but isn’t that the opposite of what it feels like you would do?

It never felt “opposite” to me? If the car skids clockwise, and the front is going too far right, isn’t your instinct to turn the car back to the left?
