Sample question from test 6
safe-driving
If your vehicle veers off the road, what should you do to regain the roadway safely?
- Brake hard and turn sharply back onto the road
- Accelerate onto the shoulder until the vehicle straightens
- Gradually reduce speed, look where you want to go, and steer slowly back
- Turn toward the ditch to keep the tires from sliding
Answer: Gradually reduce speed, look where you want to go, and steer slowly back. A driver who leaves the roadway should stay calm, ease the vehicle down in speed, focus on the intended path, and make a gentle steering correction. The choice calling for hard braking and a sharp turn is risky because an abrupt movement can create another loss of control. The manual connects over-correction with a rear-wheel slide and emphasizes gradual steering. A useful cue is to reduce speed first, then guide the vehicle back when the tires and traffic conditions allow it.
