Your right wheels drop onto a lower shoulder. What should you do before returning to the pavement?
Blue A is parallel to the road with its right wheels on a lower shoulder and left wheels on pavement. The centerline has two separated yellow strokes. No question route shows a return to the travel lane.
Correct answer: Slow gradually, keep control and return when safe
Why
Avoid an immediate panic turn. Keep control and slow gradually, then return to the pavement when safe. Check traffic and the edge before steering back; do not convert the recovery into a conflict with another lane.
