The response of 16 drivers after sustaining aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is shown. Five (31%) caused a road traffic accident (RTA). They were brought to our emergency department (ED) after either police officers or witnesses of the RTA called emergency medical services (EMSs) for help. The other 11 (69%) were able to avoid RTA by pulling over: while 6 were able to make an emergency call by themselves, the other 5 were unable to do so: passersby who found the driver lying unconscious behind the wheel made an emergency call.
