Someone recently stated in an article "NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER use the
brakes when you're in trouble"....

Now, I don't know what Bob Bondurant teaches, but in the Skip Barber Racing
School they taught me "In a spin, both feet in."

In other words, when you're spinning, floor the clutch and brakes.  The main 
benefit is that you'll travel in a straight line as you spin, and make it 
easier for other drivers to avoid you.

Of course, this applies to racing, not driving.
