How is the best way to resolve this problem, put a limit in the program maybe?

The best way is a feedback loop.

I've found that the easiest way is a gyro-based feedback loop that corrects for undesired yaw. Almost as easy is a speed-based feedback loop with shaft encoders that keeps the robot's wheels moving the same speed.
