What should you do if you lose control and your vehicle is off the roadway?

If you find yourself in a situation where you have lost control of your vehicle and it is off the roadway, gently steering towards the road is the most appropriate response. This technique allows you to regain control without making sudden movements that could further destabilize the vehicle.

When steering gently, it’s crucial to maintain a steady grip on the wheel and to avoid overcorrecting, which could lead to skidding or rolling the vehicle. Additionally, this approach helps to smoothly guide the vehicle back onto the road when it’s safe to do so, minimizing the risk of a collision with other vehicles or obstacles.

Braking hard, speeding up, or shifting into reverse in this scenario could lead to increased vehicular instability or accidents. It's important to prioritize a calm and controlled reaction to safely navigate back onto the roadway.
