The principles for handling emergency situations while driving are: remain calm and composed, adhere to the principle of avoiding pedestrians before objects. When a vehicle is traveling at high speed, sudden steering can easily cause the vehicle to skid and collide or overturn due to centrifugal force. Therefore, even if a collision with the vehicle ahead is possible, the driver should first brake to reduce speed, then steer to avoid. Emergency measures for special situations: vehicle collisions mostly occur when the vehicle ahead suddenly slows down or changes direction abruptly, and the extent of damage mainly depends on the impact speed and location. When there is a possibility of a side collision, the first priority is to control the direction, following the direction of the vehicle ahead to transform a side collision into a glancing collision, thereby reducing the severity of damage.
