If you need to leave the road due to traffic in a traffic emergency, what should you do?

Brake hard to stop quickly
Steer off the road slowly
Avoid braking until your speed has dropped to about 20mph
Turn sharply to avoid obstacles

The correct answer is: Avoid braking until your speed has dropped to about 20mph

You should avoid braking too quickly in a traffic emergency because it can cause your vehicle to lose control or potentially cause a collision with other drivers. Turning sharply to avoid obstacles can also be dangerous and potentially lead to a crash. The best option is to gradually reduce your speed until you can safely leave the road or maneuver through traffic.
