When faced with a dangerous situation while driving, you should:

In a dangerous driving situation, the most effective and safest approach is to develop plans to avoid or escape the situation. This involves assessing the circumstances around you and taking proactive measures to prevent an accident or mitigate further danger. This may include actions like changing lanes, slowing down, or maneuvering to a safer location. The focus is on maintaining control of the vehicle and making decisions that prioritize safety for yourself and others on the road.

Remaining calm is important, but doing nothing is not advisable as it does not address the immediate risks present on the road. Speeding up to get through a dangerous scenario can increase the likelihood of losing control or becoming involved in an accident. Similarly, calling someone for advice during a critical moment can distract you from focusing on the road and swiftly assessing how to manage the situation, which can lead to further complications. Developing an escape plan ensures you're actively engaged in managing your safety rather than passively waiting for the situation to resolve itself.
