What should you avoid doing when you have run off the pavement?

When you have run off the pavement, it is crucial to avoid braking sharply because doing so can cause the vehicle to skid or lose control. Braking abruptly can also shift the weight of the bus unexpectedly, making it riskier to regain control. Instead, the recommended action is to gently ease off the accelerator, allowing the vehicle to slow down gradually without the sudden forces that a hard brake would create. Following this, you may check your mirrors while gently steering back onto the roadway when it is safe to do so. Maintaining a steady and controlled response helps ensure safety while navigating back onto the pavement.
