Serious collisions can result from driving off the pavement. Here are certain things you can do to recover:

  • Do not panic.
  • Hold your steering wheel tightly.
  • Steer straight ahead.
  • Stay on the shoulder.
  • Ease up on the accelerator and brake gently.
  • When you can safely do so, turn back on the road at a low speed.
