General advice in emergency situations

Remain calm and do not panic; it will help you make rational, calm decisions.
Try to brake in a straight line if possible.
If you are driving at a high speed when the emergency occurs, try to avoid sudden steering since it may result in accidents that can otherwise be avoided.
You can steer far more effectively at slower speeds. Slow down as much as possible to reduce the impact of a potential collision.
Your main priority is to save lives. If an accident is unavoidable, take priority actions that ensure the safety of human life first.
Turn on your hazard lights as soon as possible.
Make sure you have emergency numbers and insurance numbers on hand at all times.
