What should you do if you are driving and your vehicle's steering becomes difficult?

  1. Turn the steering wheel with more force.

  2. Stop the vehicle and check the power steering fluid level.

  3. Increase your speed to regain control of the steering.

  4. Continue driving, as it is a normal occurrence.

The correct answer is: Stop the vehicle and check the power steering fluid level.

If you are driving and your vehicle's steering becomes difficult, it is important to stop the vehicle and check the power steering fluid level. This is because difficulty in steering could be an indication of a low power steering fluid level, which can impact your ability to steer safely. It is not recommended to turn the steering wheel with more force as it can cause damage to your vehicle and potentially make the steering problem worse. Increasing your speed is also not a solution as it can be dangerous and make it even more difficult to control the steering. And finally, it is not normal for a vehicle's steering to become difficult, so it is important to address the issue and not ignore it.
