Stalled Car became inevitable scourge of all drivers. Moreover, for a driver who does not understand the technical matter, this condition causes excessive panic. The more severe if car trouble on the highway. What should be do?
Alex Robbins, automotive advisor at Telegraph Cars give some input points, gathered from the experience of many people in the UK. Here's a step by step to do when a sudden problem on the freeway:
1. Pull safely. As I realized that something was amiss in the car, do not be hasty and immediately hit the brakes and stopped abruptly. If the engine dies, neutralize gear, then take advantage of the momentum rate to marginalize the car. Do not forget to turn (turn signal). Try pepetkan car in the fence, or the shoulder of the road.
2. Make sure the presence of the car is evident. Turn on the hazard lights are obliged to give a sign. If the evening, not quite the hazard, also turn on the brake lights. The driver will pass from behind will soon understand to stay away from your car. Do not forget to install safety triangle rather far from the position of the car stop.
3. Existence You also have to look. In some European countries, carrying vest or jacket that can reflect light is perfectly legal. Makes you visible at night during strikes, and certainly will maintain safety, especially while waiting for help to arrive.
4. Evacuation! It is important to immediately reduce all passengers or valuables. If at any time the car hit from behind, all passengers will be protected from harm. Choose a safe location and remain visible. While waiting for help, it's good to stay away from the car. If there is a limiting way, it's good to take cover behind it. Do not try to return to the saloon car despite the cold or rain once.
5. Do not waste time fixing. Although you know the problem, do not spend time on the side of the highway was dangerous to memberbaiki. You are not safe, even just to simply replace the tire.
6. Phone. Most true is immediately called for help and brought the car to a safer place or field. Make sure there is always a cell phone when driving long distances or not the phone low batt.
7. Walk safely. If the car is on or be towed away, make sure to walk slowly securely to the slow lane.
