Like Wayne, I know how to handle skids, and hence it doesn't worry me too much. (Other people skidding does worry me though).
The point that I would like to add is that it is (mostly) possible to avoid getting into a skid in the first place.
The golden rule to avoid skids
DO NOTHING SUDDENLY
1. Do not brake suddenly
2. Do not steer suddenly
3. Do not accelerate suddenly
4. Do not let yourself be surprised suddenly (otherwise you will instinctively do 1, 2 or 3)
So... everything gently, gently.
Everything very smoothly.
