The correct way to handle sudden loss of vehicle control is as follows: 1. Apply the brakes, turn on the hazard warning lights to alert nearby vehicles of the danger. 2. If safe to do so, set up a warning triangle behind the vehicle, immediately call for roadside assistance, and wait for a tow truck. 3. During normal driving, if the driver notices unresponsive steering, the correct action is to slow down as quickly as possible, stop at a safe location, and identify the cause. 4. For vehicles equipped with power steering, if the driver suddenly experiences difficulty steering with increased effort, they should slow down promptly, choose a safe place to stop, and investigate the cause. 5. After losing steering control, if the vehicle deviates from a straight path, firmly and repeatedly press and release the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop as quickly as possible.
