How can you keep control of the vehicle while turning?

  1. Increase acceleration

  2. Keep the steering wheel firmly

  3. Take your foot off the gas

  4. Take both feet off the pedals

The correct answer is: Keep the steering wheel firmly

When making a turn, it is important to keep control of the vehicle and maintain stability. While increasing acceleration may seem like a logical choice, it can actually cause the vehicle to veer out of control. Taking both feet off the pedals (option D) would also result in a loss of control and can be dangerous. Option C, taking your foot off the gas, can slow the vehicle down but may not provide enough control during the turn. The best way to keep control of the vehicle while turning is to keep a firm grip on the steering wheel (option B) and make smooth, controlled movements. This will help you steer the vehicle in the desired direction and maintain stability.
