Focus your gaze up ahead, look as straight as you can. There’s no point in looking at your skidding tire. You can check your mirrors, but the action of skidding itself is warning enough for the other people following you. Unless they are blind, then you’re dead.

Now that you have learned it. The muscle memory should kick in once the scenario calls for it.
And at this point, you really can’t do anything about whatever I’m going to write here. What it will take is some practice and muscle memory.

You can only do this up to 20km/h. Anything faster than that, you’re just calling for another more fatal accident. But hey, I’m not saying it’s impossible.
You’re speeding at 100km/h on a worn-out chain? It’s kinda your fault really.
