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 304. 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.
