The most important rule of physics to remember regarding driving emergencies is... If the road is slick, watch out. It takes less distance to steer out of the path of danger than it does to brake. Braking before you collide with an object takes less distance than trying to steerout of trouble. Striking an object too hard can cause damage.

It takes less distance to steer out of the path of danger than it does to brake.

The way to pull a vehicle out of a skid is to ... Brake and turn the car in the direction of the skid. Brake, and if you do not think you will stop, press harder on the brake pedal. Turn your wheel in the direction the front end of the car is going. Let up off the brake or accelerator, turn the car in the direction you want the car to go.

Let up off the brake or accelerator, turn the car in the direction you want the car to go.

Slamming on the brakes after a tire blows out will result in... Bringing the car to a safe stop. Maintaining control of the car. Losing control of the car. Slowing down the vehicle, but not completely stopping the vehicle.

Losing control of the car.

If the accelerator sticks and you choose to turn off the engine you should... Take the key out of the ignition to make sure the car is off. Turn the key all the way, but do not take the key out. You might need to turn it on again quickly. Turn the key to the auxiliary function to maintain some power in the vehicle. Make sure you do not turn the key too far so that the steering wheel does not lock.

Make sure you do not turn the key too far so that the steering wheel does not lock.
