If the car is overheating, there is something seriously wrong. You could be out of coolant, oil, or the head by be blowing. In all cases you should stop immediately (pull off the road safely) and allow the car to cool before investigating the cause. If it is water or oil then fill the car up before restarting. If it is the head then you need a tow to a garage. You MUST NOT continue driving as an over hot engine will cease and you will need a new engine!
