No matter how careful you are, if you drive long enough, you'll face an emergency situation. Perhaps it will be a medical emergency involving one of your passengers, a tire erupting in flames, or a vehicle breakdown when you least expect it.

In this chapter you will learn procedures you can use to respond to some of the more common emergency situations you might encounter.
