Should You Call the Police If Your Car Breaks Down on the Highway?

[SanLiam]

If your car breaks down on the highway, you can call the police or dial 122 for road rescue. Here are some precautions to take when your vehicle breaks down on the highway: 1. Turn on the hazard lights: If your vehicle is unable to move due to a malfunction or accident and cannot leave the driving lane, immediately turn on the hazard warning lights and set up a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle. At night, also turn on the width marker lights and taillights. 2. Emergency avoidance: If your car breaks down on the highway and requires repairs, even if you are repairing it on the shoulder or in the parking lane, it is not absolutely safe. The driver should remain vigilant and take emergency avoidance measures immediately upon noticing any danger, moving to the safe area outside the guardrail on the shoulder. When returning to the driving lane after repairs, first accelerate on the emergency parking lane, turn on the left turn signal, and then merge into the driving lane without obstructing other normally moving vehicles.
