BanningZ, that says "if your front wheels skid" that means understeer, thats not a slide. Thats the front of the car plowing through the turn...in that case then YES everything you said is right. A slide is usually the rear tires.

Car manufacturers make cars understeer from the factory because it is safer. It is safer because when people freak out they let off the gas and hit the brakes. That is the way to correct understeer, not oversteer.

The top part talks about oversteer and thats right, you turn into the slide. Notice that Line doesnt say jump off the gas or hit the brakes. It makes a second point to use the brakes if you have ABS. Thats not because its good to hit the brakes, its because ABS can help you a LOT to slow the car down once youve done STEP 1 which is to correct the slide.
