What to Do When Your Car Falls into a Ditch?

[DaniellaLynn]

Here are the steps to handle a car stuck in a ditch: 1. If your car has a differential lock, engage it, shift into first gear, press the accelerator, release the clutch, and drive out. 2. If there is no differential lock, you need to clear the soft mud under the tires and then place materials with high friction, such as branches, leaves, or stones, underneath. 3. If stuck in a ditch, gently press the accelerator first. If the car still cannot get out, do not continue to press harder, as this will only make the situation worse. If the tires are spinning even with a gentle press, pressing harder will only make them spin faster, resulting in zero traction and sinking deeper. 4. If the soft mud is very deep, the only solution is to call a tow truck.
