What should a driver do when he experiences a severe, burning pain in his chest?

Explanation

Correct answer: He should immediately stop, call the ambulance, because he might be having a heart attack.

Sudden, severe chest pain can be a symptom of a heart attack, which is a life-threatening condition. Continuing to drive in such a situation risks the loss of control over the vehicle and poses a fatal danger to the driver and other road users. Therefore, the driver is required to stop the vehicle immediately in a safe place and call for medical assistance.
