That dashcam video has been all over the news here. You can clearly see
that the driver does not know how to regain control in a skid. With a rear
wheel drive car, you take your foot off the gas and steer into the skid. For a
front wheel drive, you press on the gas, steer into the skid, and lightly apply
the parking brake.
What's really surprising is that happened in Alaska, where people should
have developed a natural response to overcoming a skid like this. This fellow
appears to have gotten into that skid by overpowering after encountering the
snow and ice on the road.
