What should you do if this ever happens? Ease up

the accelerator pedal,

steer the vehicle the way

you

want it to

go,

and

slow

down.

Speed limit signs near curves warn that

you

should adjust your speed. Of

course, the posted speeds are based on good weather and road conditions.

Under less favorable conditions you’ll want

slower.

you

need to reduce your speed as you approach a curve, do it before

you

enter the curve, while your front wheels are straight ahead.

Try

to adjust your speed

you can “drive” through the curve. Maintain a

reasonable, steady speed. Wait

accelerate until you are out of the curve,

and then accelerate gently

into

the

straightaway.

Steering in Emergencies

There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For

example,

you

come over a hill and find a truck stopped

your lane,

car

suddenly pulls

out

from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked

cars and stops right

front

you. You can avoid these problems by

braking

if you can stop in time. But sometimes

you

can’t;

there isn’t

room. That’s the time for evasive action

steering around the problem.

Your vehicle can perform very well

emergencies like these. First apply

your brakes. It is better to remove as much speed as you can from a possible

collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left or right depending on

the space available.

An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick decision. If

you

are holding the steering wheel at the recommended 9 and

o’clock

positions, you can turn it a full

180

degrees very quickly without removing

either hand. But you have

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

good

reason

to practice defensive driving at all times and wear safety belts properly.
