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...

Drive (and brake) safely,
