Training Objectives

Identify proper responses to mechanical failures like blowouts or brake loss
List essential safety items required for a comprehensive vehicle emergency kit

Course Overview

Even the most cautious drivers can face sudden mechanical failures or environmental emergencies. This training short prepares you to stay calm and take control when things go wrong.

You will learn the specific "do's and don'ts" for high-pressure scenarios, such as handling a high-speed tire blowout or responding to total brake failure. We discuss the importance of steering into a skid and how to safely navigate off the roadway to avoid secondary collisions.

Additionally, we cover how to build a "road warrior" emergency kit—complete with jumper cables, first aid supplies, and flares, to ensure you are never stranded. By preparing for the worst-case scenario today, you gain the confidence to handle any roadside crisis with a level head.

No Worries. Here’s Some Helpful Info.

What should I do if my tires blow out while driving at high speed?


Grip the steering wheel firmly, take your foot off the gas, and let the vehicle slow down naturally; avoid slamming on the brakes.


How should I react if my brakes suddenly stop working?


Shift to a lower gear to use the engine for braking and pump the brake pedal fast and hard to build up remaining hydraulic pressure.


What are the most essential items for a vehicle emergency kit?


Your kit should include jumper cables, a flashlight with extra batteries, a first aid kit, water, non-perishable food, and reflective triangles or flares.


What does "steering into a skid" actually mean?


It means turning your steering wheel in the same direction that the rear of your car is sliding to help regain traction and control.


Why is it important to carry a physical map or extra phone charger?


In an emergency, GPS signals can fail or your phone battery can die; having backups ensures you can still find help or navigate to safety.
