Advice Required
My husband has had two heart attacks but a good few years between each. He has been passed fit to drive but I always am on edge if anything should happen when he is behind the wheel luckily we do not do a lot of travelling and he is not a fast driver. If anything should happen when he is driving what would my best course of action be. We have an automatic should I just pull the handbrake on and put flashers on and hope for the best I know it depends on the type of road we are on but any advice would be helpful.

Driving in France and my boyfriend at the time thought I should be closer to the kerb and grabbed the wheel. Car flipped over. Would not advise trying to take control of a car where you are in the passenger seat.
Incidentally, our Volvo has one of those electric handbrakes, which we love. It's very clever (they say) in that if you apply it at speed it will brake all 4 wheels until it has slowed you down to a few mph and then switch to just the rear wheels. Unfortunately they have placed it by the driver's door, so the passenger can't reach it at all. Being electrically operated they could have put it anywhere in the car they wanted, so why not place it where a passenger could reach it in emergency?
