Your right wheels drop off the pavement onto a clear shoulder. What is the safest initial response?
Blue car A faces east beside the right edge of a two-way paved road. Its two right-side wheels are on a brown dirt shoulder, while its left-side wheels remain on pavement. A stays parallel to the road.
Correct answer: Ease off the gas, hold the wheel, and keep straight.
Why
Stay calm, ease off the accelerator and steer straight. Brake lightly as needed. When speed is low and the road is clear, signal and return to the pavement smoothly. Do not make a sudden sharp correction.
