What should you do if you encounter a vehicle headed the wrong way on a one way street?
If you encounter a vehicle headed the wrong way on a one way street, you should slow, steer right, and sound your horn.
What three things are to be done if you have a threat of a head-on collision?
Depending on the situation, you can do one of these 3 things to prevent a collision: stop, steer away or speed up. Read the Collision Avoidance section to learn about the circumstances, when you can apply one or another technique and their advantages and disadvantages.
How should you respond to a car coming towards you in your lane?
Stay in the center of your lane, blow your horn, and brake. If another vehicle is approaching you head-on in your lane, you should first honk your horn to attract attention. If the other driver does not move over, try to escape to the right.
What do you do when your car goes off the road?

- Do not panic.
- Hold your steering wheel tightly.
- Steer straight ahead.
- Stay on the shoulder.
- Ease up on the accelerator and brake gently.

How can you warn a driver who is driving the wrong way on a one way street?
What actions would you take and how would you warn an oncoming driver that he or she is traveling the wrong way on a one-way street? Slow down, steer right, and sound your horn. If you have time, flash your headlights to warn the other driver.
How do you fix drifting while driving?
The way to administer car control while drifting is to incorporate opposite lock (countersteer) with throttle’s simultaneous modulation. Apply the brakes to shift the car weight into a balancing position. This step helps in maintaining car balances while moving back and forth around the turns.
Why do I keep drifting while driving?
The most commonly culprit is your vehicle’s wheel alignment. When your vehicle is properly aligned, it is at optimal performance. One way to check wheel alignment is to very briefly let go of the steering wheel.
What to do when your car drifts off the pavement?
Gently steer left to ease your right wheels onto the pavement, and when you feel all of your wheels have returned to the pavement, steer right to straighten out your vehicle. Speed up to match the flow of traffic and ensure that you have control of your vehicle. The first action to take is to honk your horn to alert the other driver.
What should I do if my car drifts onto the shoulder?
Do not steer sharply in order to get back onto the road. This can cause the car to whip sideways, and if there is oncoming traffic, this can cause a serious traffic accident. Here is what to do if your car drifts onto the shoulder: Ease off the gas pedal and do not brake suddenly.
What happens if you drive to the left of the other car?
You should never drive to the left of the other vehicle and swing into the lane of approaching traffic. The other driver may suddenly realize his or her mistake and turn back into the proper lane. If you overreact and over-steer, you may also run off and crash on the far side of the road.
What to do on the left side of the road?
Pull off the road and rest when you feel tired. Avoid distractions like texting, talking on the phone, eating, and drinking while you drive. Pass with Care. When you overtake another vehicle on the left side of the road, always make sure you have enough space to pass safely.
