Correct handling methods for sudden loss of steering control in a car: 1. Fully release the accelerator pedal; 2. Do not immediately apply the brakes, instead brake slowly, especially when the speed is high; 3. Use engine braking to reduce speed, which means downshifting to slow down, not directly to first gear, but downshifting one gear at a time; 4. Quickly turn on the hazard warning lights; 5. After the speed has decreased, use the parking brake to slow down, applying the handbrake slowly and not too abruptly. Once the vehicle is under control, place a warning triangle 150 meters behind the car. Always drive safely, avoid fatigue driving, and remain calm in emergencies.
