  3. Apply the handbrake to bring the vehicle to a halt.

Correct Answer

Turn the steering wheel in the same direction as the rear wheels are heading.

Explanation: If your vehicle goes into a rear-wheel sideways skid; turn the steering in the direction the rear wheels are heading. This should be done very gradually; as too much steering could cause the vehicle to skid in the opposite direction.
