Your right wheels drop from the pavement onto a lower shoulder. What should you do first?
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, slow, then steer back gently
Why
Keep a firm grip and ease off the accelerator. Do not jerk the vehicle back onto the road. Slow to a safe speed, check traffic and steer back gently when there is a safe opening.
