Steering
in
Emergencies
There
are
times when steering can
be more effective than braking. For
example, you come over a hill and find
atruck 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 can’t; there isn’t
room. That’s the time
for
evasive
action
-
steering around the problem.
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.
