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.
Off-Road
Recovery
You may find that your right wheels have dropped
off
the
edge
of a
road onto the shoulder while you’re driving.
If the level
of
the shoulder is only slightly below the
pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease
off
the
accelerator and
then,
if there is nothing in the way, steer
so
that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
You
can
turn
the steering wheel up to one-quarter turn until the
right front tire contacts the pavement edge. Then
turn
your
steering wheel to
go
straight down the roadway.
