Your right wheels drop onto a lower 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, then steer back gradually when safe.
Why
Keep control of the steering and ease off the accelerator. Reduce speed before returning to the roadway, check traffic and steer back gradually when safe. Do not make a sudden movement across the edge that could throw the vehicle across a lane.
