📖 Topic overview
This chapter prepares you for the moments driving goes wrong: defensive driving habits that help you avoid a crash in the first place, how to conduct yourself during a law enforcement traffic stop, your legal responsibilities after a crash, first aid basics, and step-by-step responses to specific emergencies like skidding, a tire blowout, a stuck gas pedal, or a power outage at an intersection.
The most-tested concepts are what to do during a traffic stop (stay in the vehicle, keep your hands visible, wait for instructions), your legal duties after any crash involving injury or damage (stop, render aid, exchange information, report as required), treating a dark intersection as an all-way stop, and the correct way to brake hard — pump the brakes without ABS, but press and hold steadily with ABS.
A common mistake is pumping anti-lock brakes the old-fashioned way, which actually disengages the ABS. Another is moving an injured person who might have a neck or spinal injury, or forgetting that leaving the scene of a crash is a serious crime with penalties that scale by how badly someone was hurt.
What should I do when I see emergency lights behind me?
Pull over safely as soon as you can, turn off the engine and any audio, stay in the vehicle unless told otherwise, and keep your hands visible on the steering wheel until the officer gives instructions.
How do I brake hard in an emergency if my vehicle has anti-lock brakes (ABS)?
Press down firmly on the brake pedal and hold steady pressure while steering out of danger. Don't pump the pedal — that's only for vehicles without ABS, and pumping will disengage the ABS.
What am I legally required to do after being in a crash?
Stop, call for help if anyone is hurt, exchange driver and vehicle information with the other party, and file a report if required. Leaving the scene of a crash involving injury or death is a serious crime.
