Car safety on the road

If your vehicle breaks down on a high way, make sure other drivers can see you and your vehicle. Accidents occur because a driver did not see a stalled vehicle until it was too late to stop. If possible, use a 2-way radio, telephone, or cellular phone to notify authorities that your vehicle (or someone else’s) has broken down. Many road ways have signs that tell you the CB channel or telephone number to call in an emergency. The cellular number to call in an emergency is *55.

if you are having vehicle trouble and have to stop, consider the following :

If at all possible, get your vehicle off the road and away from traffic. Turn on your emergency flashers to show you are having trouble.

If you cannot get your vehicle off the roadway, try to stop where other drivers have a clear view of your vehicle. Do not stop just over a hill or just around a curve.

Try to warn other drivers that your vehicle is there. Place emergency flares behind the vehicle. This alerts other drivers to change lanes if necessary.

Never stand in the road way. Do not try to change a tire if it means you have to be in a traffic lane. Lift the hood or tie a white cloth to the antenna, side mirror, or door handle to signal an emergency.

For any possibilities, you should consider Auto insurance as your option. Auto insurance will make sure about your loss in any accidents. SafeAuto is one of nice choice about auto insurance.
