What to Do When a Vehicle Breaks Down on the Highway?
1 Answers
When a motor vehicle breaks down on the highway, the following measures should be taken: 1. The driver should immediately turn on the hazard warning flashers and move the vehicle to a location where it does not obstruct traffic. 2. If the vehicle is difficult to move: the hazard warning flashers should remain on, and warning signs should be set up in the direction of oncoming traffic to increase the warning distance. However, the warning signs should be placed at least 150 meters away from the direction of oncoming traffic. All passengers should quickly move to the right shoulder or emergency lane and call for help immediately. 3. If a motor vehicle breaks down or is involved in a traffic accident on the highway and cannot be driven normally, it should be towed or pulled by a rescue vehicle or a tow truck.
