What should a person travelling on a highway do if they experience the following: shortness of breath, chills, numbness of the arms, pain around the stomach area and humming in the ears.
aHe should speed up and drive to a hospital.
bHe should carefully enter the emergency lane, call the ambulance and unfasten his seat belts.
cHe should open his window and drive to a hospital.
Why?
These symptoms may precede a loss of consciousness, so continuing to drive risks a crash. The photo shows a motorway with a hard shoulder on the right, where the driver should carefully pull over and stop. Switch on the hazard warning lights, call 112 or 999, and unfasten the seat belt only after stopping. Accelerating or opening a window does not remove the danger.
