Weight in trunk?

“If you lose traction with the front wheels, you can steer them in the direction of the skid.”

How is that dangerous? Isn’t that what they tell every driver to do in basic driver’s education?

What does traction control have to do with it? I thought traction control only kicked in while accelerating when the tires spin from a lack of traction. Why would anyone in a skid accelerate? I am talking about steering out of a skid while coasting in gear. Could you be thinking about automatic stability management?
