If your vehicle breaks down on the road, it’s important to stay calm and take the necessary steps to ensure your safety and the safety of others. Here are some tips on what to do if your vehicle breaks down: 

Pull over to a safe location: If your vehicle breaks down, pull over to the side of the road as soon as possible. Make sure your vehicle is visible to other drivers and use your hazard lights to warn other drivers of your presence.

Turn on your emergency flashers: Turn on your emergency flashers to make your vehicle more visible to other drivers.

Exit the vehicle on the side of the road away from traffic.

If you suspect your vehicle has a mechanical problem, raise the hood to signal that you need assistance.

Call for assistance using your phone, or call emergency services if necessary.

If it’s not safe to exit the vehicle, stay inside with the doors locked and windows closed until help arrives.

Keep emergency kit in your car that includes a flashlight, blankets, first aid kit, and a fully charged cell phone, and water.

Be aware of your surroundings and avoid standing in front of or behind your vehicle, as this can be dangerous if another driver loses control.

Wait for help to arrive. If you have a spare tire, jack, and tools, you may be able to change the tire yourself. But if you are not comfortable with the process, it’s best to wait for a professional.

Once you’re back on the road, make a plan for next time, check your vehicle regularly and make sure it’s in good working condition to avoid any breakdowns in the future.

Remember, safety should always be your top priority when dealing with a vehicle breakdown. Try to stay calm and take the necessary steps to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
