Off-Road
Recovery
(Continued)
 Here
are some tips for regaining control of your vehicle:
- Stay
calm and remove your foot from the accelerator. Brake
gently while holding the steering wheel firmly.
- If
your vehicle is sliding sideways, steer in to the direction
of the slide to regain control.
- Once
you can steer the vehicle and there is enough space,
re-enter the roadway.
The
natural reaction is to jerk the steering wheel, especially
when startled. Unfortunately, driver's will drift off the
road due too being tired and will naturally be startled
when they realize they are going off the pavement. It's
important to get plenty of rest. If you get tired, take
a break.
