How To Handle Power Steering Failure

4. Warn Others, Move Off To The Side

The first thing to do is not to panic. Turn on your flashers, which is the button, usually red, with two triangles. If there are vehicles in the way of your path, honk your horn to indicate they should get out of the way, especially if you are driving at a high rate of speed. Then, move off to the side of the road, and be aware it will be very difficult to turn the steering wheel, so give it all your effort.
