Correct answer

  • ease off the gas pedal.
  • pull over to the right side of the road and stop.
  • try to restart the engine on the road.

Explanation

If your engine dies as you pull around a corner, pull on the steering wheel with both hands and steer to the right side of the road. (If your car has power steering, loss of engine power will cause loss of power assist, so you will need to exert more force on the steering wheel.) Brake to a stop. (If your car has power brakes, loss of engine power will cause loss of power assist, so you will need to press the brake pedal extra hard.) Shift into park (for an automatic transmission) or neutral (for a manual transmission), then try to restart the engine.
