You can continue driving when the car radiator boils over, but only for a short distance. However, it is recommended to drive the car to a service station at a low speed for repairs. Remember not to drive at normal speed, as this could cause permanent damage to the engine. Emergency handling methods for a boiling car radiator: 1. Immediately find a safe place to park, but do not turn off the engine right away; 2. After some time, check whether there is any leakage under the car; 3. Wait until the temperature gauge needle drops to a suitable position, then turn off the engine; 4. Use a wet towel to cover the radiator cap, open the first switch, wait for the steam pressure to release completely, then fully open the radiator cap. Check the water level and quality in the radiator, as well as whether the fan belt is abnormal. If the water level is insufficient, slowly add water to near the maximum mark.
