Driving hazards

Hello Guys,

My wife and I are both 85 years old and we both still drive and hold valid driving licences, yesterday my wife whilst I was driving at 100kph said “what would a passenger do if the driver (me) collapsed whilst driving”. We discussed this at length but in the end I decided to ask the RAC and they sent me a link to see how to respond to emergencies such as the one I described plus several others that your readers may appreciate.

One can learn a lot by looking at the link for instance, don’t turn the ignition key off because you lose the power steering and that would be catastrophic.

Here is the link:
