Road Rea ---:y
An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding
the steering wheel at .
the recommended 9 and 3 o’clock positions, you can
turn it a full
180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have
to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten
the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible
is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.
You may find sometime that your right wheels have
dropped off the edge of a road
onto the shoulder while
you’re driving.

OFF-ROAD RECOVERY
RECOVER
0-
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.
