Your right wheels drift off the pavement onto a lower shoulder. What is the safest first 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: Grip the wheel, ease off the gas, and return gently when clear.
Why
Grip the steering wheel and ease off the accelerator. Brake gently as needed, check traffic, and return to the pavement with a smooth steering movement when safe. Do not jerk the wheel over the edge; the car could cross into oncoming traffic.
