Safety Tips
Before we reach you, these are some tips to keep you and your family safe from the hazards of the road.
- Turn on your emergency flashers.
- If possible, try to move your vehicle to the right-hand side of the road, out of the direction of traffic. Do not leave your vehicle stopped in a traffic lane.
- Move the vehicle as far away from the traffic as you can. Try to get far enough that you obtain the space to open your door without stepping out into traffic, while also being visible enough so that people can see you.
- Keep items in the vehicle such as flashlights, flares, blankets and a first-aid kit in case a problem situation occurs. Also be sure to have a mobile phone handy, as it is one of the most valuable safety tools during breakdown situations.
- Know where items, such as your jack, spare tire and other tools, are in the vehicle, and be familiar with how they work.
