OFF-ROAD RECOVERY | HOW TO DRIVE A CAR | CAR DRIVING SKILLS | DRIVING WITH MR. T.

In today's driving lesson, we're learning to keep your arms steady and straight if your car veers off onto the side of the road.

It might be dark and raininy weather when all of a sudden you find yourself with two tires in the gravel on the side of the road.

Getting back onto the road usually involves pulling the car up over the edge of the road from the rut that the tires are in, so the main thing you want to remember is *never* *never* pull the steering wheel too far to the left. That is called *over-correcting* and it an be life threatening if you're on a two-lane highway and there are large trucks and vehicles speeding by.

So again, stay calm, and firmly pull the car slightly to the left just till you feel that the front tires are both on the road, then proceed straight *without overcorrecting.*

If you can practice this on a very quiet road that has deep ruts, you'll be getting some great experience for the future. And once you've mastered this skill, you'll be safely handling the situation of going off-road and back on your way in no time.

Leave a comment and let me know if you were able to practice this skill!

Hey everybody, I'm Mr. T., and it's my passion and goal to help people everywhere to drive cars and all vehicles safer, better, smarter, more cautiously, more confidently, and in a word, more professionally.

I believe that driving a car is much more than simply operating a vehicle to maneuver it forward, backwards, and sideways. Driving a car is really better described as "navigating the roadways," because that is what you are, in fact, doing every time you get behind the wheel.

True road navigation involves having a fully mature sense of responsibility, an intellect that fully comprehends the danger that is inherent in every drive, and the experienced skills that provide the ability to handle a 5,000-pound "missile" traveling at speeds of upwards of 65 miles per hour. Because that is what a vehicle is--it has the power to save lives when used properly, and that is our goal.

So whether you're a beginner at driving a car, experienced at driving a car, nervous about driving a car, confident about driving a car, getting ready for your DMV driving test or just want to learn how to drive a car and navigate the roads in a safe, professional way, whether you're taking lessons, or just trying to learn some car-driving tips, watching me narrate these car driving videos will help you pass your road test AND learn true road navigation so that your driving skills can be life saving!

KEEP SAFETY ITEMS IN YOUR TRUNK:

Safety items are essential: a vest, a tire gauge, cones, flares, and other items may never be used, but they are the things that when you need them, you really need them and are really glad you have them.

Also don't forget to put some peppermints and granola bars into your glove compartment for use in case you become drowsy and aren't able to pull over because of weather or locale. Usually eating those will give you a lift and keep you alert until you're able to pull over safely.
