Which of the following is NOT a recommended step for safely returning to the road?

• A. Steer smoothly and re-enter traffic
• B. Signal early and scan mirrors
• C. Rapidly jerking the wheel
• D. Brake gradually and maintain control

Answer: (C)

Returning to traffic safely comes down to smooth, controlled actions. Signaling early and scanning mirrors helps you warn others and spot a safe gap. Steer smoothly to re-enter traffic, keeping a steady line and avoiding sudden direction changes. Brake gradually so you can match the speed of surrounding vehicles and maintain control. Rapidly jerking the wheel is not recommended because it creates abrupt changes in direction, can cause you to drift into another lane, and makes it harder to maintain control or predict your path—teaching you what to avoid when merging back onto the road.
