Cevap
Countersteer immediately in the opposite direction without applying the brakes to re-align the vehicle with the travel lane.
According to official commercial driving standards, when performing an evasive maneuver, a driver must turn only as much as needed to clear the hazard and countersteer immediately in the opposite direction without braking to re-align the vehicle safely.
