Answer 1

Option (C) is correct. The driver should firmly hold the steering and move in the straight line and try to slow down the car steadily.

Explanation:

When the car is moving on a rural road, it often happens that the wheel runs off the pavement due to bad condition of the road or uneven pavement. In such case when the wheel moves off the road, the driver should hold the steering very firmly.

The driver should not suddenly try to turn the car in any direction because that might damage the car. In this case, the driver should hold the steering firmly so that the car doesn't go in any direction.

Then the driver should try to keep the car moving in the straight direction. While keeping the direction straight, he should apply the brakes slowly to reduce the speed of the car.

When the speed of the car is slow enough to bring it back to the road, the driver should turn the steering towards left and bring the car back on the road.

Thus, Option (C) is correct. The driver should firmly hold the steering and move in the straight line and try to slow down the car steadily.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is-

A: Immediately steer left, back toward the paved surface of the road.

As per the given situation in the question, right wheels have run off the pavement while driving on a rural road. This means that it is in the clockwise direction.

In order to overcome the situation, that is for taking the right wheel back on the roadside, we need to steer left immediately ( that is move it anticlockwise) by holding the steering wheel firmly.

Thus, option A) is the right answer.
