Explanation
If your vehicle's right wheels leave the pavement, you should grip the steering wheel firmly, take your foot off the gas pedal and brake gently. When your vehicle has slowed down, check for traffic behind you and steer back onto the road when it is safe to do so. This approach ensures a controlled return to the pavement, reducing the risk of accidents and maintaining traffic flow.
