Slow down as much as possible without losing control to minimize impact forces. If the other driver continues into your lane, veer off the road to the RIGHT, not left, to avoid a potential collision. Aim for areas with less solid obstacles, and try to make a glancing blow if impact is inevitable. Remember, sacrificing your car&#8217;s integrity by driving off-road to the right is preferable to a head-on collision at highway speeds. Prepare yourself now to react effectively and increase your chances of survival in such an emergency situation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A head-on collision is one of the most devastating accidents imaginable, but preparation can make a difference.
