Car breakdown on the road — what should you do?

Quick checks before you call

• Is the car in a safe position away from bends or fast lanes?
• Are the hazard lights working, and is there smoke or a fuel leak?
• Have you noted your direction, license plate, and current location?

What can you do?

1. Turn on the hazard lights and place a warning sign when safe
2. Move passengers away from the risk of a collision
3. Call roadside assistance and describe the exact location and vehicle condition
4. Do not restart the vehicle if there is smoke, a fuel smell, or an unusual noise
