hehe kasi thinking about it, the reason you're skidding is that you're wheels have basically run out of grip na. if you brake or just wait for the car to regain control by itself, edi parang hinintay mo lang bumalik yung grip. problem is, what if you don't regain grip and the sliding progressess into a full-on slide? whereas if you power out of the skid, you are able to end it more quickly and regain control. diba? hehe ewan ko lang pero parang thinking of the physics, stepping on the gas makes more sense. might be wrong though
