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 246. 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.
