What should be your first response to steering failure?

In the event of steering failure, your first response should be to remain calm and avoid sudden movements that could worsen the situation. Gradually reduce speed and steer gently in the direction you want to go, using brakes if necessary to bring the vehicle to a stop. Activate your hazard lights to alert other drivers, and pull over to a safe location if possible. Once stopped, assess the situation and seek professional assistance.
