veer off course (partire per la tangente) Explanation: When the steering is not working -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2020-12-04 14:07:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In both languages, this is an expression that is used both literally and figuratively. In English we use "go off on a tangent" figuratively, but not when we are behind the wheel. |
