While driving, your vehicle pulls to the right. What is the right course of action?

When your vehicle pulls to the right while driving, it indicates a potential issue, often related to tire pressure, alignment, or suspension components. The correct course of action is to check the tire inflation pressure first, as low or uneven tire pressure can cause handling problems. If the issue persists or is beyond a simple tire check, taking the vehicle to a garage is essential for a thorough inspection and repair.

Simply noting the steering behavior while continuing to drive can put you and others at risk, as it may lead to loss of control or accidents. Attempting to improve handling by braking heavily is also dangerous, as it does not address the underlying issue and could worsen the situation.

According to German traffic regulations, ensuring that your vehicle is in safe operating condition is your responsibility as a driver. Regular checks and addressing any abnormalities promptly are crucial for maintaining safety on the road.
