After years of CPR/AED classes, one very important thing I learned is that if you aren’t sure if you should call 911, CALL 911! You never have to take the ride and it won’t cost you if you don’t. Let the first responders decide if it is unsafe to take a car.

Another important thing is that if the problem is serious, don’t take a car if there is an ambulance available unless there is an extra person to watch the patient while in transit.
