Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
The engine shuts off while the car is moving. The steering suddenly feels heavier. What should you do?
Correct answer: Grip the wheel firmly, shift to neutral, and brake to a safe stop.
Why
Keep a strong grip on the wheel; steering can become harder, but it still requires your control. Shift to neutral, look for a safe path and use steady brake pressure to slow and pull off. Once stopped, attempt a restart as appropriate; if unsuccessful, use emergency warnings and call for help.
