Ways To Take Pre Caution In Case Of Car Breakdowns At Night?

Car break downs during a road trip can happen at random moments at unexpected times of the day too. If you do have an accident and it causes your car to break down, I think we would all rather it happens during the day in broad daylight instead of it happening in the night time in the middle of nowhere as well. Truth be told car breakdowns are not pleasant experiences, no matter when or where it happens it will always be a messy and frustrating experience. Especially since it is the holiday season, it means more people are going out and more vehicles are out and about each day. This automatically leads to a higher rate of breakdowns or accidents. Here is what you should remember in case you meet with an accident and do not what to do.

Try not to meddle

This simply means that unless you are a professional mechanic and understand what you are doing, do not try to “fix” your broken down vehicle by yourself. Even if it’s a simple issue as you might think do not meddle with it because it can make the problem worse? As 24 hour car tow truck at SA TOW services are open and running, call one to let them know where you are. Make sure your car is not directly stranded on the middle of the road, if it is try to push your car towards the side of the road.

Do not isolate your car

As this is about breakdowns in the night, you need to make sure that you do not leave the car alone. Even if you spot shelter, it is best to stay with the car until the car towing Williamstown http://www.satow.com.au/ service finds you. Remember to turn on your emergency lights and stand nearby your car and try to hail a passing vehicle. The chance of a passing driver seeing you and helping you is high if you stand near the car and try to stop them instead of making it seem like an isolated car to drivers passing by. If you think it is not safe or it’s risky, then stay inside your car and lock all your doors, but keep the emergency lights on.

Common sense

Not every break down is similar or alike at all, it really depends on where and why your car broke down. Using your intelligence at times like these is important. If you know anyone living nearby or if you know the breakdown was because of no gas and there is a known gas station close by then it is fine to leave your car for a while. It all comes down to what the situation is and how quickly it can be fixed.
