If you have allowed the wheels of your vehicle to run off edge pavement?

If you have allowed the wheels of your vehicle to run off the edge of the pavement, you should take the following steps:

1. Slow down immediately and come to a stop.

2. Turn on your hazard lights and put on your parking brake.

3. Get out of your vehicle and inspect the tires and wheels for damage.

4. If there is no damage, you can carefully drive your vehicle back onto the pavement.

5. If there is damage, you will need to call for a tow truck.

Here are some additional tips for driving on the edge of the pavement:

* Avoid driving on the edge of the pavement if possible. The pavement is usually thinner at the edges, and it can be more easily damaged by your tires.

* If you must drive on the edge of the pavement, do so slowly and carefully. Be aware of the condition of the pavement and avoid any areas that are cracked or broken.

* Do not turn your wheels sharply when driving on the edge of the pavement. This can cause your tires to slip and you could lose control of your vehicle.

* If you feel your vehicle starting to slip, let off the gas pedal and brake gently. Do not turn your wheels until you have regained control of your vehicle.

By following these tips, you can help to avoid accidents and damage to your vehicle when driving on the edge of the pavement.
