Lost consciousness while behind the wheel??!!! This could save your LIFE!

[@patmccarthy5069]

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!!

[@ModelA]

Be right with God, as they say!

[@Dan-qy1rg]

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!

[@ModelA]

Thanks Dan

[@charlesdalton985]

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

God bless, Chuck!

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!

Thanks Jeff!!!

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

[@ModelA]

If they were going slow, they could get away with that.

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

[@ModelA]

Oh, NO!! So sorry about grandpa. Good for grandma having the presence of mind to save her life!! Possibly the lives of other too.

[@quailstudios]

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

Happy to help, brother! God bless

[@emiliorodrigues1924]

What a useful information, Paul! I don't have one Model A Ford, unfortunately. But, once, thirty years, I drove a 1929 Model A on Sunday for wedding, all day long, and let me tell you, that was one of the happiest Sundays of my life 😊. Of course, during the Saturday morning before, I was learning how to drive a Ford Model A, obsviously! I follow your videos for the last 4 or 5 years, I'm a big fan of yours. Give my regards to Mrs Tina "Model T". All the best for you two, kindly regards 🤗. Emílio Valongo Rodrigues, from Portugal 🇵🇹

That's cool! Thank you Emilio, I will.

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

[@williamforbes5826]

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.

[@user-ty3vd8qr5j]

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. From Texas. Et

[@garylcampbell9964]

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

[@stevetuttle5472]

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

[@HappyBegg]

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. 😊

[@ModelA]

That is a serious point that I plan to address next. Also hope we can collaborate on a video when we get together at MAFFI museum, if you're up to it. If nothing else, we'll have our annual tradition of frozen custard.

[@HappyBegg]

@@ModelA I think it would be great to work on a video with you. Frozen custard is an absolute must, no matter what!😊

[@rickgaine3476]

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.

I think in a new car, you hope the airbags work

[@madman-pv9qd]

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.

[@ModelA]

Hahahaa! Oh, you were a real stinker!

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

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.

Excellent. I failed to include that. thanks!

[@brianwills4398]

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.

[@ModelA]

If the carb float doesn't leak, it is fine. If your carb float leaks, its gonna smell bad in there

[@jochenstacker7448]

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