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 in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls

out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between

parked cars and stops right in front of you. You can

avoid these problems by braking — if you can stop in

time. But sometimes you can not; there is not room.

That is the time for evasive action — steering around the

problem.

Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like

these. First apply your brakes.

See Braking on page 4-6. 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 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.
