Handling Emergency Situations
Staying Calm Under Pressure
Emergencies can happen anytime on the road. Knowing how to respond quickly and calmly is essential.
Common Emergencies
- Tire Blowout: Hold the steering wheel firmly, take your foot off the gas, and steer straight until you can pull over safely.
- Brake Failure: Pump the brakes to try to build up pressure. If that doesn't work, use the emergency brake and shift to a lower gear.
- Engine Overheating: Pull over, turn off the engine, and let it cool before checking anything.
Accident Protocol
If you are involved in a crash:
- Stop your vehicle.
- Check for injuries and call for help if needed.
- Exchange information with the other driver.
Important Formula
Stopping distance = Reaction distance + Braking distance
Knowing your stopping distance can help prevent crashes, especially in emergencies.
Key Formula
\[Stopping\ Distance = Reaction\ Distance + Braking\ Distance\]
Examples
Your tire blows out on the highway, but you steer straight and pull over safely.
Your brakes fail, so you use the emergency brake and shift to a lower gear to slow down.
In a Nutshell
Prepare for emergencies by knowing what to do and staying calm.
