If you start to skid on a very slippery surface, you should...?

Increase your speed
Put the transmission in neutral, ease off the brake and ease off the accelerator
Turn off your headlights
Apply the brakes firmly

The correct answer is: Put the transmission in neutral, ease off the brake and ease off the accelerator

When driving on a very slippery surface, it is important to reduce your speed and maintain control of your vehicle. Options A and C are both incorrect because they involve increasing speed, which can further contribute to loss of control on slippery surfaces. Option D is also incorrect because applying the brakes firmly can cause the wheels to lock up and make it more difficult to regain control. Option B is the best choice as it advises to put your vehicle in neutral, which disengages the engine from the wheels and reduces speed. This, along with easing off the brake and accelerator, can help to regain control of the vehicle.
