IMMEDIATE ACTIONS TO TAKE • 1. Prioritize Safety First • Why it matters: Immediate safety steps can prevent accidents or injuries. • Turn on hazard lights to alert others. • Move to a safe location (e.g., shoulder, away from traffic). • Stay inside the vehicle if unsafe to exit (e.g., on a busy highway). • 2. Know When to Call a Tow Truck • Critical scenarios: • Major mechanical failures (e.g., engine seizure, transmission issues). • Severe accident damage (e.g., deployed airbags, fluid leaks). • Vehicle stuck in hazardous areas (e.g., middle of a highway, flood zones).
Choose a Reliable Towing Service • Avoid scams and overcharging: • Pre-research local providers with reviews and certifications. • Confirm licensing, insurance, and upfront pricing (ask about hidden fees). • Save trusted numbers in your phone (e.g., insurance-linked providers). • Pro tip: Never hand over keys until you’ve verified credentials. Preventive Maintenance Saves Emergencies • Key habits to adopt: • Regular vehicle checkups (tire pressure, battery health, fluid levels). • Keep an emergency kit (jumper cables, flashlight, first aid, reflective triangles). • Monitor fuel levels to avoid running out of gas. • Stat: Over 25% of roadside emergencies are preventable with routine maintenance.
Stay Safe While Waiting for Help • Avoid secondary risks: • Keep doors locked and windows slightly open for ventilation. • Communicate clearly with the provider (use GPS coordinates or landmarks). • Decline help from strangers—wait for verified professionals. • Example: A driver who stayed inside their car avoided a potential roadside scam.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR TOWING PROVIDER • What’s your estimated arrival time? • Do you accept my insurance/roadside assistance plan? • What is the total cost? • Where will my vehicle be towed?
