Auto accidents can happen to anyone at any time. If you find yourself aware that a medical emergency is happening, immediately pull away from the roadway and stop your vehicle. It is always best to keep a safe distance from other vehicles around, so you have enough time to react accordingly. In addition, if you believe you’re in no condition to drive, allow someone else to drive you.
