Car
breakdowns
are
quite
common
and
unfortunately,
once
your
car
is
in
repair
condition
you
have
no
choice
but
to
wait
till
the
towing
service arrives. Most towing companies arrive as early as possible
but
there
is
no
fixed
period
for
when
they
will
arrive.
Therefore,
in
any location, whether a busy city street or lonely countryside, you
must be prepared to stay safe while the car recovery transport
arrives.
1)
Keep
out
of
traffic
The
moment
your
car
breaks
down
immediately
move
your
car
out
of
the
way
of
traffic.
You
should
move
to
the
sides
of
the
lane
without
creating
any
disturbance
for
the
vehicle
movement.
2)
Turn
on
your
alert
lights
Make
sure
your
hazard
lights
are
switched
on
and
ensure
they
remain turned on till the recovery truck arrives. This will help the
drivers on the road to know that your car has some problem and
also
gives
better
visibility
of
the
car
in
the
dark.
After
turning
on
the
lights
call and
wait for
the towing
service to
arrive.
3)
Use
a
safety
triangle
Not
all
cars
have
a
safety
triangle
but
if
you
have
it
is
advisable
to
use it. Place the safety triangle approximately 30 meters away from
the
car
towards
the
traffic
movement
direction
but
without
pushing
yourself
in
danger.
The
reflective
triangles
are
highly
visible
and
it
alerts
the
other
drivers
on
the
road
to
drive
at
a
distance
from
the
stationary
car.
4)
Keep
your
valuables
safe
For
safety
purposes,
carrying
any
valuables
in
the
car
with
you
while
you
wait
for
the
car
towing
service
is
advised.
This
can
help
you
avoid
any theft
or damage
to the
valuables.
5)
Get
out
of
your
car
Staying
inside
the
car
might
seem
safer
but
it
is
not
true.
It
would
be
best
if
you
got
out
of
the
vehicle,
making
sure
it
is
safe
to
do
so,
and
also
advise your
co-passengers to
do the
same.
6)
Choose
a
safe
waiting
location
After
stepping
out
of
the
vehicle
choose
a
safe
location
to
wait
until
the
towing service
arrives. This has to be a place a little away
from
the
car.
If
you
are
on
the
motorway,
it
is
advisable
to
wait
at
a
distance
from
the
car
and
behind
the
crash
bars
almost
close
to
the
grass
verge.
7)
Don’t
drain
your
mobile
battery

have
a
lot
of
idle
time
while

your phone
to

an
emergency
call
or
call
the
towing
service
company
again
to
help
them
with directions
to reach
your location.
8)
Don’t
accept
rides
from
strangers
Not
all
drivers
have
bad
intentions
but
it
is
still
advised
to
turn
down
any
offer
for
a
lift
from
strangers

above
points
