What should you do if your vehicle starts to stall?

If your vehicle starts to stall, the most appropriate action is to pull to the side of the road safely. This action allows you to remove your vehicle from traffic, reducing the risk of an accident caused by the vehicle losing power or stopping unexpectedly in a lane. By moving to a safe location, you can assess the situation without endangering yourself or other road users.

Choosing to accelerate quickly or pressing on the gas pedal harder could exacerbate the issue if the vehicle is stalling due to mechanical problems or lack of fuel. Turning off the ignition might cause further complications, especially if you still need to maneuver the vehicle or if it leads to a loss of power steering or brakes. Therefore, the safest and most prudent choice is to pull over when you feel a stall coming on.
