Well first of all if you are starting to fish tail in any type of car DO NOT BRAKE AT ALL. You just witnessed what will happen. What you do is turn the wheel in the direction you want to go and keep up with the gas. Maybe let off a little.What are the metal strips on the surface of interstate highways ?
Now if you need to stop quick, you have to pay attention and feel where your car is about to slide to. Again, if you car is starting to slide let off the brake and coast while pointing your wheels in the direction you want to go. Then try an stop the car without turning the wheel.
Firefighters...what would you do?
The reason your car spun out like that is because when you slammed on the brakes all the weight of your car went to your front wheels leaving very little traction for you back tires which caused them to slide and your front wheels to stick.
If my lights work fine for my trailer that I am pulling, but the park lights don't work, is that ok?
To stop more efficiently, you need to apply the brake a little less vigourously.If you apply the brakes only to JUST short of actual skidding, then the vehicle will stop much more quickly, and without all the drama mentioned.
If you find it starting to skid, then ease up on the brake pedal a little until it stops, and then apply it a little again until you achieve the maximum stopping ability.
If the road is wet or slippery, then a quick on/off/on/off application will stop you much more effectively, and is the theory/method behind ABS systems.
A little practice on a quiet road will soon have you doing a top job with these.
I have used these techniques for just over 40 years of driving now, both personally and professionally, and they work very well.
