    I'm not exactly certain what the comrrection strategy should be here. I've heard both "foot off the gas" and "speed up".
    I can only imagine hitting the trailer breaks only and only if the trailer does not start to correct using more gas and the trailer breaks. Worked with a fellow that talked about using this approach with a rig when the trailer tried to over take the tractor on slippery roads. By slowing down the trailer will only try to overtake the tow vehicle even more. Can only figure that slowing down would help if cought soon enough, if it can be cought soon enough, have to be very alert and aware of the potential involved. Real glad something like this has never even begun to happen to me. Despite some of the risks I have taken for the boss. No substitute for caution. Or the fortune of beginners.
