How to stay alive if a driver has a medical emergency behind the wheel- This could save your LIFE!

Great video, please share with all your friends who have these wonderful old cars!

All good info.. on a side note I have a question, I recently acquired a beautiful 31, it's in a storage unit 300 miles away. I left the pet cock open. How worried should I be about it leaking? It's been there for 3 months.

Very clear and sensible advice.

Thank you an absolute ton for the Videos Paul/Tina. Sorry been mia for a bit and Not To Invade this video. Tried to email you. Buttttt it wouldn’t let me. 😞. However if I May Ask Hey Paul. Hope you may be able to help and or have any suggestions. I’m working on My 1930 model a coupe. And am trying hard to find original if possible of course. Tappets/lifters. And or the correct terminology. lol. With the skinnier foot/base on them mine have the ford script on them and would like to find a few of them and or all if possible Thank you Extremely Much for any help or advice..! Thanks a ton as always. Paul.

Riding in a model a is a death experience to begin with . Had a south wind gasoline heater set my pants on fire if you're thumming a ride hide if you see one 🎉😅

Excellent information!!!! My grandma actually had to do this with my grandpa, but in a very large class A diesel pusher motor home. He had a fatal heart attack on the interstate. She had to get out of her seat, go up a step, over to his side, down a step, and all she dove under his feet to hold the brake down. A miracle of God that they didn't hit anything because they went over the median, onto oncoming traffic, and into the ditch. But the way you just taught it can definitely save a lot of lives!!!! Thank you for sharing

Excellent advice.
I did not that Model T was such a good actress/spokesmodel.

When I saw this vdo pop up I thought... easy, slam on the E Brake. But you're completely correct, locking down the E Brake only makes things worse.
Also, why I'm not in favor of adjusting the brakes as advised 90 years ago; where the rear tires lock up first. I adjust mine where they all lock up at same time, and if they do lock I back off the pedal.
Keep making the great videos you two are known for.

Great video on safety

Great information 🙏🏼

Thanks for the great information!!

Another good video Thank You
Where did you get the front turn signals on the bumper?

Never thought about a medical emergency in the car with somebody next to me.
Had a job years ago delivering blueprints. Company car. Cap on jug of ammonia in back of car got loose and ammonia vapors filled the car. Was just pulling into big business park where I needed to go. When I got a whiff of the ammonia I thought I could hold my breath. It didn't work that way. I needed to get the car over to the side and ignition off so I could bail out before I passed out. Made it happen but when things happen ... it happens quick.
Great video for having a plan ahead of time.

Great idea never thought of this!😉

Great video & hope it never comes to that. But nice to know if it does. Have a great weekend.

Great idea for a video! I remember when we were kids the fun thing to do was slowly pull the choke rod out with our 2 big tows while riding shotgun. The poor driver never could figure out why their Model A was running so bad. Eventually we had to finally confess and boy were they mad. Seriously though these Model A's with Weber carbs and electric fuel pumps can be, and have been deadly when someone passes out and crashes into a tree or something.

From a wife who is content to enjoy our A from the passenger’s seat, this video was great! Hope it gets widely viewed!

Thank you Paul and Tina, for this wonderful information. I never thought about pulling out the choke however, I am still new to the Model A so this is once again a learning tool for me.

Paul, this is a great short video! But, let's take this one step further. Now, you have a patient who has probably gone to get medical attention and the passenger riding with that person is now in a car they don't know how to drive. I am a huge proponent of the necessity for all adults who ride in Model A's know how to drive a Model A. This is the big reason I run The Model A Driving Experience every year during Model A Days at The Museum. 😊

Thank You for the insight!!

Thanks for sharing this info!! Haven't got mine running yet but when I do, my wife will need to know this!!

very good advice! thank you sir!

Paul by not bring it up your viewers will extrapolate what to do on there other car too.

Awesome. Thanks guys.

I would add to apply the parking brake after the car is shut down. You don't need the car rolling while you're addressing the medical emergency.

THANK YOU, PAUL!

This happened to me while my father was driving a couple of weekends ago.
My father completely forgot he was driving!!!
He took the mobile phone and completely forgot he was in a car!
I grabbed the wheel and pulled to the right on the motorway in Madrid, Spain.
My father regained his memory after one minute, or so... he is forgetting things and I tried to convince him to go to the doctor and check with a neurologist.
He didn't want to go because he doesn't want to be banned from driving... he's getting old and he's not getting any better.

Very good life saving instructions. And very nice coupe. I have a 30 pickup

Best video message ever - no one thinks about this- most would grab the parking brake

Thank you !!May save a life(s) someday.

Very interesting video; we tend to think we’ll never face a situation like that.

Good to know! New cars, no spoke, nothing to get a hold of. Unsafe at any speed.

Scary to think about having a medical problem while behind the wheel, but a reality to be prepared for. The old saying to “Live everyday to the fullest” is so true. So, Model A Guy and Model T stay healthy cause you have many years ahead to educate me about A Model A. Healthy prayers to all!!

This is some very good advice. It’s always beneficial to have a plan. The old man from Michigan. Have a great day.

Hey wait...... I'm 48! 🤔

Baptizing cats now, are we....

Excellent topic and demo. Things most people don't think of. Thanks for making this video. 73 de N8IWS.

911. I need an ambulance and somebody that can drive a 1928 model A ford.!!

Great safety information, thank you!

Serious subject for sure. One of our ladies in the club insists that everyone be able to drive the car. BUT first you must get it stopped! I will be sure to pass this video on to others. Thanks for the look into the abyss and how to recover from it.
Thanks again Paul.

This is so important, thank you, I will pass it on to my wife. I hope you and Model T have a fantastic weekend, Blessings to you both!

GREAT advice! I'll pass it on.

Very good Paul and Tina. I have never thought about it.

this is good information. How would you perform the same tasks in a new car? You can't simply shut the engine off. You can't turn the key off for the steering wheel lock. Old cars are better.

Outstanding advice. We pack parts, tools, supplies, but overlook situations like this that can happen. Thank you. I pray no one ever needs to use this, but there is comfort in knowing. God bless, have a great week ~ Chuck

Just tell the driver you hear knocking from the engine.
No matter what, he'll immediately stop and turn it off.

Thanks Friends! GREAT information. Everyone with an a should make sure everyone that may be riding with them see this! The like you may save MIGHT be your own!

I always tell people the Model A has a kidnap protection by having the choke in front of the passenger seat

Wow Paul I've never thought about this before. Thanks

Tina put the "Model" in Model T
