What is "when your right wheels run onto a soft shoulder?

When your right wheels run onto a soft shoulder, it's a potentially dangerous situation that requires a calm and controlled response. Here's what you should do:

  • Don't Panic: The most important thing is to stay calm. Jerky movements can worsen the situation and cause you to lose control.

  • Grip the Steering Wheel Firmly: Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel with both hands. This will help you maintain control of the vehicle.

  • Ease Off the Accelerator: Gently reduce your speed by easing off the accelerator. Avoid braking suddenly, as this can cause the vehicle to skid or swerve.

  • Look Where You Want to Go: Focus your eyes on the road ahead and where you want the vehicle to go. Avoid fixating on the shoulder.

  • Gently Steer Back Onto the Pavement: When it's safe and you have enough space, gradually steer back onto the pavement. Avoid making a sharp or sudden turn. Steer gently toward the road. It might require a slight over-correction.

  • Avoid Overcorrecting: Overcorrecting the steering can cause you to swerve into the opposite lane or lose control. Make small, gradual adjustments.

  • Signal Your Intentions: Use your turn signal to indicate your intention to return to the pavement. This will alert other drivers to your presence.

  • Check Your Mirrors: Before re-entering the lane, check your mirrors to ensure that it is clear and safe to do so.

  • Pull Over Safely: Once you're back on the pavement, find a safe place to pull over and check your tires for damage.
