I learned on a skid-course that if you se the needle of the speedometer drop to zero at once you're locked up and should release a TINY bit of pedal pressure. My first thought was "like I have time to look at the speedo", but you dont have to look at it; when practicing I noticed that your perifiral vision is sufficient to see the needle shoot back. Just have to remember that on a D thye speedo is on the front wheel, while on most modern cars it's driven by the gearbox or final drive, thus telling you your DRIVE-wheels are locked up...
