Scream.

i crash
-
S**t myself & close my eyes (i don't want to see what's going to happen!).
-
Impalement by the driving wheel shaft on impact.
-
Emergency brake.
-
Simultaneously scream and crap my drawers.
-
Well I've never heard of this happening to anyone, although I do know of someone whose handlebars on their bicycle came off while he was riding it down the road. I suppose if it happened to me I would push on the brake and pray to God for a safe landing.
-
Turn on my emergency blinkers Take my foot off the gas (I'd say honk the horn, but since my steering wheel is in my lap, it's not gonna work!) I'd probably try to put the wheel back on (at least temporarily- so I can get the car off the road) Slow my car down as gradually as possible, and hope that I somehow coast onto the shoulder... I'd probably be calling 911 from my cell phone by this point to report myself as being a traffic hazard... Stay in my car and hope nobody hits me!

Brakes.
-
PANIC. BIG TIME.
-
yell at the top of your lungs "FUCK" THEN TRY TO DO SOMETHING CALL 911, EMERGENCY BRAKE EJECT YOUR SELF INTO THE CAR BESIDE YOU
-
after crapping your pants, apply emergency lights, open the window, wave the steering wheel over the car so other drivers can see. its what i would do.
-
Pull the Vise-grips out of the glovebox and clamp onto the bare end of the steering column. You don't drive cars like the ones I drive without a full toolkit.
-
Heavy cursing followed by heavy praying....
-
Has anyone thought of downgrading the transmission from drive to second gear? The transmission may pass you at it leaves its connection to the engine, but its worth a try.
-
Shove it back on. The only way it could fall off would be if the retaining nut fell off. The splines would keep it in place as you steered to a halt. If you couldn't get it back on you would have to brake very gently because harsh braking would almost certainly lead to you swerving to one side or the other.
-
Hope that you don't come to a curve before you can come up with an idea.
-
I have to agree with the majority, soiling one-self seems like the first plan of attack.. then cursing then crying then when its all over laughing...
-
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
-
turn off the ignition..hit the brake..brace for impact.
