What to Do If Your Car Breaks Down on the Highway?

[JocelynLynn]

If your car breaks down on the highway, follow these steps: 1. Exit the vehicle: Immediately turn on the hazard lights to alert other drivers of your situation. If the car can still move, drive it into the emergency lane and place a warning triangle 150 meters behind the car. All passengers should leave the vehicle and move to a safe area outside the guardrail to avoid secondary collisions. 2. Call for help: Once in a safe location, call the police for assistance by dialing 110 or 112, or any other emergency number, and wait patiently for help to arrive. 3. Towing: Do not attempt to tow the car with another vehicle—this is extremely dangerous on the highway and is considered a traffic violation that can result in penalties. Always wait for traffic police to handle the towing, as they will secure the scene and ensure the safety of other vehicles.
