Regardless of wich way the rear end of that vehicle swings, keep the front end pointing straight. Carefully turn the wheel in the direction the rear of the vehicle is swinging to.

Works for me anyway, with rare exception.

I had Mr. Weed for driving training at Century High and he rammed that down our throats – don’t over-correct! It has saved my life (and probably a few others) several times. I tried to drill that into my kids’ heads – don’t know if I succeeded or not – but they are still alive, thank Heavens. It would be easy to panic though. Praying.

REGARDING:
“Driving 101: DO NO OVERCORRECT!!”

I’m pretty sure she didn’t do it on purpose.

You have different coefficients of friction as you change from asphalt to grass to asphalt. Further, having some wheels on grass and some on asphalt further complicates matters. It would take quite a bit of practice to learn how to deal with those complications. The safest practice after running off the road is to slow down as much as possible ere trying to re-enter the road. Another biggie is to pay attention and avoid running off the road in the first place, not that I haven’t done it myself, but it’s always safer not to do it.

David hoping they are well
and more cautious next time

When will people learn? Driving 101: DO NO OVERCORRECT!! That should be the first thing drilled @ driving classes. It’s much better to ride it out on a piece of grass or dirt beside the road while easily slowing down, than to jerk the wheel back onto the road. (See Exhibit Above)
