First, the driver needs to remain calm and grip the steering wheel firmly, while avoiding pressing the accelerator. Next, the driver should ease off the throttle and downshift to gradually slow down the vehicle, while checking the rearview mirror to monitor traffic behind and prevent rear-end collisions. When the driver confirms that the traffic behind is clear, they should seize the opportunity to safely steer the vehicle out of the traffic lane. After pulling over, the driver should park the car, turn on the hazard warning lights, set up warning signs in the direction of oncoming traffic, and quickly move all passengers to a safe location before calling for assistance.
