1. A steering control apparatus, comprising:

  • a determining unit which calculates a first Yaw rate value based on a steering angle measured by a torque sensor and compares the first Yaw rate value with a second Yaw rate value measured by a Yaw rate sensor to determine a turning state of a vehicle according to a result of the comparison; and

    a controller configured to adjust a control amount for a control disturbing an alignment of tires to return the vehicle to a normal turning state if it is determined that the vehicle is in an abnormal state,wherein the control amount for the control disturbing the alignment of the tires is a value of an electric current for damping-control or returning-control, andthe electric current is a damping-control current for restricting a rapid movement of a gear or a returning-control current for aligning the tires at the steering angle of 0 degree.
