5. Staying Safe While Waiting for Help
Safety Measures:
- Move to a Safe Location: If possible, park the vehicle away from traffic and use hazard lights to increase visibility.
- Stay Inside: Remain in your vehicle if you’re on a busy road, especially at night or in poor weather conditions.
Effective Communication:
- Provide Clear Information: When contacting roadside assistance, give your exact location, the nature of the problem, and any other relevant details.
- Use Emergency Services: If you’re in a dangerous situation or unable to get assistance, contact emergency services for help.
