What to do when a car approaches you and a collision is inevitable
- Indicate your intentions. Activate your flasher immediately to report your way to other drivers. This helps to avoid general panic.
- Use your horn. The other driver may not have seen you. A strong signal can make him aware of the danger and prompt him to react.
- Do not brake suddenly. Too sudden a brake can make you lose control and make the situation worse. Gradually reduce your speed while seeking a way out of the way out.

Finding a way out to avoid impact
When a vehicle comes straight at you, your instinct may be to panic. However, keeping your cool can help you identify a solution.
- Is the shoulder an option? If you have an emergency stop band or an emergency stop band, make sure it is passable and use it as an escape route.
- Evaluate the distances. A sudden manoeuvre can be more dangerous than a controlled slowdown. Analyse the driver's behaviour before you to choose the best reaction.
Finally, keep in mind that a good driver is not only based on his own abilities, but also anticipates the mistakes of others. The road is a shared space, where every decision can tell the difference between a simple moment of fear and a tragedy that is avoided.
