To maintain control when in an acceleration skid, the driver/operator should not apply brakes, but should instead ease off of the accelerator, and:

In the event of an acceleration skid, maintaining control of the vehicle is critical. Easing off the accelerator reduces power to the wheels, which helps to regain traction. Once this has been done, straightening out the front wheels as the vehicle begins to respond is essential because it aligns the vehicle in the direction you want to go. This action allows the tires to regain traction in a controlled manner and can help you steer out of the skid effectively.

Straightening the wheels helps to establish a stable trajectory and can prevent the vehicle from oversteering or further skidding. It's important not to forcefully apply the brakes during an acceleration skid, as this can lead to a loss of control. Ensuring the front wheels are pointing in the direction of travel as the vehicle regains control minimizes the risk of further skidding and allows for a smoother recovery.
