What to Do When Your Car Runs Out of Battery at a Highway Service Area?

[BrooklynLee]

During the Spring Festival, when driving on the highway, stay in the rightmost lane and set your speed to 80 km/h. This is the optimal speed for balancing energy efficiency, safety, and overall effectiveness. Before coming to a complete stop, make sure to turn on your hazard lights, move to the outside of the highway guardrail, and then call your insurance company, manufacturer, or 4S shop for assistance.

I remember one time my car suddenly ran out of battery at a highway service area—it felt awful since the place was remote, but fortunately, there were many people around. First, I turned on the hazard lights and pushed the car to a safe parking spot to avoid blocking traffic. Then, I checked if I had left the headlights or radio on, but it turned out the battery was just old. Luckily, the service area had a convenience store, and the staff helped find a kind driver to jump-start my car. Having the right tools is crucial, so always keep jumper cables in your car. After getting it started, I drove straight to a repair shop to replace the battery. The lesson? Regularly maintain your battery, especially check its voltage before long trips. The advantage of service areas is quick access to help—stay calm.
