emergency

An emergency is an urgent, unexpected, and usually dangerous situation that poses an immediate risk to health, life, property, or environment and requires immediate action. Most emergencies require urgent intervention to prevent a worsening of the situation, although in some situations, mitigation may not be possible and agencies may only be able to offer palliative care for the aftermath.
While some emergencies are self-evident (such as a natural disaster that threatens many lives), many smaller incidents require that an observer (or affected party) decide whether it qualifies as an emergency.
The precise definition of an emergency, the agencies involved and the procedures used, vary by jurisdiction, and this is usually set by the government, whose agencies (emergency services) are responsible for emergency planning and management.

    Unwarranted emergency stop

    My almost 1 year old MG4 did a full on emergency stop the other day. There was a pedestrian walking on the pavement and I assume the car "thought" I was going to hit the person but there was no risk at all! The stop was so severe that had there been a car behind me they would probably have...

    Stupid new key

    OK, so who else is annoyed with the stupid new key shape, and emergency mechanical key? By having this all separate and just dangling on your keyring it is liable for loss and to damage the plastic chrome and shiny bits of the new key shape. I have opened the key up, to see if there was space...

    Emergency Stop

    Hypothetical question! Driving along at say 70mph the front seat passenger sees the driver has fainted, can he slow the car or bring the car to a halt by switching the gear selector to "N" ? (Even if damage was to occur)

    Tyre Repair 'Gunk' Use By Date

    Does anybody know how 'accurate' the dates on the tyre weld is? Mine has a date of 22021124, which I assume is November of 2022, and a label saying 'Warranty Period: onboard 3 years'. As my car is just over 2 years old from new, I am assuming that means it is good for at least another year...

    So I'm down to 10% and I'm at a fast charging station. I plugged in and presented my electroverse card. The screen on the charger said charging started, then after a second it said charging finished, remove cable. I can't remove the damn thing. I've locked and unlocked the car repeatedly. I've...

    EmergencyHammer

    The Cyberster has been in my possession for a week now and I am very pleased with it. However, I have a question about the emergency hammers 🔨. These have not been given a fixed place but are loosely placed behind my back in the net. I do not consider this a safe place because you can never...

    Alternative use for tax disc holder

    I have ICE information form in mine, but it’s getting a bit faded and needs updating now. I’ve been in search of a replacement, and found these. Insurance company Aviva also have one, but it’s for your insurance policy details, rather than emergency contacts.

    Archived MG 5 16 inch genuine emergency spare wheel.

    For sale. A 16 inch emergency spare wheel, tyre and jack kit. This was bought from the MG dealer who sold me the MG 5 pre face lift long range car. The wheel was used for about 20 slow miles to get home after a puncture. The whole kit cost me £245 and I’m asking for £100plus delivery.

    How to disable alarm after emergency key use?

    So yesterday I went for a dog walk in the snow and came back to find that my key wasn’t opening my 2020 ZS EV. I tried opening the car using the emergency key to get the dogs out of the traffic but it triggered the alarm and I couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. Is there a button somewhere...

    Makeshift Ambo!

    Went on an overnight trip to Lancashire to help parents in law empty their static. Got home fully loaded on Friday, but realised we needed some juice to get home from Warrington. So we went to BP in Birchwood. The forecourt was painted with very smooth paint and it had been raining. As I took...

    Emergency key

    Has anyone tried to open the drivers door with the emergency key in the key fob, I'm laying my car up for 3month and want to disconnect the battery. To re-enter the car you use the emergency key but it seems awfully stiff
