The situation you are trying to describe generally doesn't exist. Long before the needle got to full scale the PF would have taken action to restore the correct track. LLZ needles don't just suddenly go from centred to full scale- assuming the equipment is working correctly- they drift,slowly, as the aeroplane deviates from the required track. On autocoupled approach the autopilot reacts that in fractions of a second. Manual approach maybe a bit longer. So unless some major event has occured to suddenly push or direct the aircraft rapidly to one side, it just isn't going to happen.
