Steering in EmerLI I- - ies There are times when steering can be more effective you il than braking. For example, come overa h l and find a.truck stoppedin your lane,or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts from between out parked cars and stops right in front of you. You can avoid these problems braking -- if you can stop in by time. But sometimes can't; theire isn't-raom.That's you the time for evasive action-- steering around the problem. - Your Buick can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply your brakes. (See "Braking in Emergencies" earlier in section.) It is better to this remove as much.speed asyou can froma possible collision. Then steer around the .problem, to or the left right depending on the space available.
