If the right wheels drop off the pavement, what should the driver do?
A is parallel to the road with its right-side wheels beyond the pavement edge on the shoulder.
Correct answer: Grip firmly, ease off the gas, then return gradually when safe
Why
Keep a firm grip and take your foot off the accelerator. Do not steer back immediately. Avoid braking if possible; if needed, use gradual pressure. Once speed is controlled, check traffic, return gradually and straighten within the proper lane.
