Can be low tire pressure in left front tire, brake rotor sticking, or front end out of alignment causing it to veer left.
Shaking can be bent wheel, defective tire, or brakes grabbing.
Have the brakes, tires, and suspension inspected.
Could be a frozen brake caliper or a rotor that is "out of round".
from Vibrare, meaning to shake
The car was then seen to veer off of the road.
It's probably a bad wheel bearing
The car may need a front end aligment. See link below...
have front suspension checked
check to see if your wheel is rubbing up against something
when the car isin drive and you take your hands off the steering wheel, for a second or two only (and safety allows it) the car will veer left or right instead of going straight would be good indication that it is misaligned.
It's a bear! Unless it is a bare left arm, in which case it is not a bear! To bear left means to veer to the left.
When driving - "veer left and take the first exit" Improved Answer: The teenage driver veered to the side when he almost ran into the tree.
Low tire pressure Frozen brake caliper Bad alignment Worn front end parts (tie rod ends Pitman arm) Bent axle
Why, with your own left hand. :P
