Steering over a pavement edge drop-off may lead to an unexpected, sudden change in direction of the vehicle climbing back onto the road surface. The problem is maximized because a car’s wheels hang up (scrub) along the face of the drop. When a driver gets hung up, their natural reaction is to provide more steer input.
