An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended
9
and
3
o'clock positions, you can
turn it a full
180
degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason
to
practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.
