If

the

level

of

the shoulder is

only

slightly below the

pavement, recovery should be

fairly

easy. Ease

off

the

accelerator

and

then, if there is nothing

in

the way, steer

so

that your vehicle straddles

the

edge of

the

pavement.

You

can turn

the

steering wheel up

to

one-quarter

turn

until the

right front tire contacts the pavement

edge.

Then

turn

your

steering wheel

to

go

straight down the roadway.
