Description

Sometimes unexpected things happen to us. It could be a strange sound or an unusual smell while you are riding your car. Similarly, a car could break down anywhere and anytime during your drive. Such a situation could also be a bit out of the blue while you are on a rushing road or a highway. Does it seem frightening while vehicles zooming by? Of course, it is natural to panic.

However, there are preventive measures in terms of car maintenance. But, even a well-maintained car might have a sudden failure during a ride. Modern-day cars come with complex technology and are always vulnerable to technical failure even though manufacturers take care of every potential failure.

You might be experiencing a panic or stress on the occurrence of a sudden breakdown. Under such circumstances, it is essential to keep yourself calm. However, you should be prepared for a breakdown.

What should be the course of action if you are in the middle of such a situation? The following guidelines should surely help you to tackle an unanticipated breakdown.

Firstly, try to clear the road

In case of a breakdown, first, you need to focus on getting off the road while your car is still moving, despite the engine being stalled or completely dead.

If you have a flat tyre, always try to reach a safer side of the road. At the same time, it is necessary to use hazard lights to caution other vehicles on the road about the trouble.

Essentially, car drivers hit the brakes if they encounter a sudden obstacle. However, it is not safe in case of a car breakdown. Moreover, it would help if you utilised the car's momentum to target the safer side of the road.

If your car has lost momentum and cannot move further even by a shoulder, do not get out of the vehicle as it is safe to stay in your car while other cars, SUVs or even trucks are cruising by.

Besides, you can take these steps to prioritise your and other drivers' safety by signalling them about the breakdown.

· Turn on your emergency/hazard lights.
