Does the verb 'skid' take an object?

Question

Does the verb “skid” take an object? So is it OK to say:

He skidded his car on the road.

Answer 1

The New Oxford American Dictionary offers precisely that example:

skid [intrans.]: (of a vehicle) slide, typically sideways or obliquely, on slippery ground or as a result of stopping or turning too quickly.

• [trans.] cause to skid: he skidded his car.

So: yes.

Answer 2

"Skid" may be a transitive (cause to skid) or an intransitive verb. When it is intransitive, no object is required. E.g., These tires never skid in the rain.
