Try to adjust' your speed so you can "drive" through the
curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. Wait to
accelerate until you are out of the curve, and then
accelerate gently into the straightaway.
When you drive into a curve at night, it's harder to see
the road ahead of you because it bends away from the
straight beams
o f
your lights. This is one good reason. to
drive slower.
Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective
than braking. For example, you come over a hill and
find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls
out f-rom nowhere, or
a
child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front of you. You can
avoid these problems by braking - if you can stop in
time. But sometimes you can't; there isn't room. That's
the time for evasive action - steering around the
problem.
Your Buick can perform very well
in emergencies like
these. First apply your brakes. It is better to remove as
much speed as you can from
a
possible collision. Then
steer around the problem, to the left
or
right depending
on the space available,
