/ / / Hood Latch Failure

If you are driving and the hood of your car flies open, do the following:

Slow down.
Try to look underneath the hood at the road ahead.
If that is not possible put your head out the window and look around the hood.
Use the painted center line or lane markings as a guide.
As soon as possible, pull off the road, put your hazard lights on, and then deal with the hood problem.
