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 cannot; 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.
