Road Safety Tips – What to do if your vehicle is having problems

First, you should note your vehicle’s location. If you encounter a problem while driving, make sure you are aware of your surroundings and general location. Know where you are in relation to a major exit or cross street and look for lighted areas. If you are on an interstate highway, note the kilometre marker, last exit number or nearest rest area.

Your next step is to assess the problem. While driving, be aware of and know how to respond to warning signs such as steering problems, unusual noises or steam or smoke coming from under the hood. If it’s a flat tire or you run out of gas, try not to panic. Signal, slow down gradually and carefully pull onto the shoulder of the road, avoiding any sudden moves.

Be careful when pulling off the road. On most roads, you should exit onto the far right shoulder, as far off the road as possible while remaining on level ground. If you are driving on an interstate or multiple-lane highway with islands or separations, you may consider the left shoulder, again pulling as far away from traffic as possible.

If you exit the vehicle, never stand behind or directly in front of it to help avoid injuries if your car is struck by another vehicle. Also, Be sure to alert other drivers. Make sure your vehicle is visible to other drivers, remembering that they may be traveling at a high rate of speed. Then, turn on the emergency flashers, especially at night or during bad weather.

Finally, always communicate your situation. Once you and any passengers are in a safe location, inform others of your vehicle breakdown. Make note of your surroundings and any buildings or road signs. If you have a cell phone, immediately use it to call for help and make the call from inside your vehicle if you are safely out of traffic. Otherwise, do so at a safe distance from the vehicle and road. The most important thing is to remain with your vehicle at all times. Safety experts agree that under most circumstances if you are able to pull away from traffic, it is safest to remain in your vehicle until a police officer arrives.
