Steering in Emergencies

There are times when steering can be more effective

than bralung. 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

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 Chevrolet can perform very well in emergencies

like these. First apply your brakes. (See “Braking in

Emergencies’’ earlier in this section.) 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

and

o’clock positions, you can

turn

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.
