Cevap

Leave the carriageway at the next safe exit or service area, park in a secure place, and take time to regain composure before continuing
Intense emotions such as distress, shock, or anger severely impair a driver's concentration, reaction speed, and hazard perception. The correct action is to safely exit traffic flow at the next junction or service facility, stop in a permitted area, and remain parked until fully composed.
