Braking is used to slow down or stop the vehicle to avoid a collision.

#3. If you must swerve, what should you do after passing the obstacle?

After avoiding the hazard, return safely to your lane once it is clear.

#4. What is the main purpose of swerving?

Swerving allows a driver to avoid hitting something directly in front of the vehicle.

Good drivers reduce emergencies by scanning ahead, maintaining space, and adjusting speed early.

#7. What should you do with the steering wheel when swerving?

Controlled steering helps avoid overcorrecting or losing control of the vehicle.
