Swift Driving Academy CDLP Training Manual Practice Test

If your vehicle pulls to one side when steering, what is the recommended action?

Continue driving and adjust later. Use heavier brakes to straighten. Slowly adjust the steering and continue. Do not continue; safely pull over, inspect tire pressure, wheel alignment, or brake issues that could cause pulling.

Correct Answer:

Do not continue; safely pull over, inspect tire pressure, wheel alignment, or brake issues that could cause pulling.

Explanation:

Pulling to one side while steering signals a potential issue that can affect control, such as tire pressure imbalance, wheel alignment problems, or a brake issue. The safest action is to stop driving as soon as it’s safe and pull over to inspect. Continuing to drive or trying to compensate with steering or heavier braking can hide the problem and increase the risk of losing control. By pulling over, you can check tire pressures (a low tire can cause pulling), look for uneven wear or damage, and consider whether alignment or brakes might be at fault. If you notice obvious tire damage, a severely low tire, or brakes that feel abnormal, don’t resume driving until the issue is fixed or you’ve gotten professional help.
