Which should you do if your bus begins to skid?

When a bus begins to skid, the appropriate action is to steer into the skid. This technique helps to realign the vehicle with the direction you want to go. By steering in the direction of the skid, you allow the back wheels to regain traction, helping to stabilize the bus.

If you were to brake hard or accelerate, you might exacerbate the skid. Braking can cause the wheels to lock up, while accelerating could lead to further loss of traction, making the situation worse. Turning off the ignition is also inappropriate, as this would disable the vehicle's power steering and brake assist, making it much harder to control the bus. Thus, steering into the skid is the most effective and safe method to regain control of the vehicle during such an event.
