Move to Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n

If at all possible, try to move your car to safety off of the road. Don’t get out of the car until you have moved the car to an out of the way spot if you can. <\/p>\n

Turn on Your Hazard Lights<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you have moved your car to safety, activate your hazard lights so that people who are coming along the road can easily see you, especially if you have broken down at night. <\/p>\n

Call for Help<\/strong><\/p>\n

You need to look around and see if you can pinpoint your location. Luckily, in today’s modern world it’s easier to pinpoint your location for people coming to help you via GPS. If you don’t have this modern technology, try to tell the tow truck driver exactly where you are, if possible. <\/p>\n

Stay with Your Car<\/strong><\/p>\n

Never leave your car and get into a car with a stranger. Even if it’s the tow truck driver. In today’s world, it’s best not to trust anyone you don’t know. Call someone you know or call a police officer to come and get you. It’s best to be safe, instead of sorry. <\/p>\n
