Steering in Emergencies
There
are
times when steering can be more effective
than
braking. For example, you come over
a
hill
and
find
a
truck stopped in your lane, or
a
car suddenly pulls
out from nowhere, or
a
child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front of you.
You
can
avoid these problems by braking
--
if you can stop
in
time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room.
That’s the time for evasive action
--
steering around
the problem.
Your Buick can perform very well in emergencies like
these. First apply your brakes. (See “Braking in
Emergencies” earlier in this section.) It is better to
remove as much speed
as
you can from a possible
collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left or
right
depending on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and
a
quick decision.
If
you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended
9
and
3
o’clock positions, you can
turn
it
a
full
180
degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just
as
quickly straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible
is
a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all
times and wear safety belts properly.
