Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Stop driving immediately.
A fault in the steering wheel or the brakes impairs your ability to control the vehicle and stop it. So you must stop driving immediately and pull over in a safe place. Do not keep driving, even carefully to the nearest garage, because the fault may get worse and cause an accident. Trying to find and fix the problem while driving is dangerous. Stopping is also not limited to ignition or fuel faults: a steering or brake failure requires stopping as well.
