Road Trips are fun, but roadside emergencies, such as an accident, flat tire, an overheating engine, or dead battery can ruin your trip in no time. In the event of a car breakdown, you are compelled to pull your car off the road for seeking roadside service or the help of towing service providers. Pushing your two-wheeler or four-wheeler off the road can be quite risky as you are likely to injure yourself or get hit by speeding vehicles flying on the road.
 
Your safety and well-being matter the most to us. Therefore, in this post, we will share a few useful tips that will help you practice roadside safety after a vehicle breakdown or accident. So here we go:

  1. Act Fast and Do not Take Risk: The moment you sense trouble, take immediate action, without further ado. Don’t wait for long time as your vehicle’s engine may stop any time, thus, making it all the more difficult for you to get off the road. If your car breaks down on a busy highway, get your car off the road to repair the damage. Never think of getting out of the car on a busy highway as it may prove fatal for you.

  2. Look for a Helping Hand: If you are driving all alone in the middle of the night, and suddenly your car breaks down, turn on your vehicle’s emergency flashers to make your vehicle visible to other drivers. At the same time, raise the hood of your vehicle to alert other motorists. Though strangers may stop to offer help, it is advisable to trust your gut instinct on the decision of whether to accept help from strangers. Ideally, you should call a friend or family member or a roadside service provider for assistance. 

  3. Call Roadside Service Providers: If your insurance policy offers roadside assistance coverage, give them a call as soon as your car breaks down. Professional roadside service providers offer prompt assistance and are available round the clock to help you take your vehicle to the nearest car repair service center, whenever required. We are open 24/7 to keep you and your family safe. Read more here.

  4. Keep an Emergency Supply Kit in Your Car: To deal with minor injuries, make sure you keep a first-aid box in your car. Your car’s first aid kit should consist of cotton rolls, bandages, antiseptic cream, hand sanitizer, disposable gloves, scissors, adhesive tapes, and instant cold/hot packs. At the same time, do not forget to carry reflective triangles, and emergency flares as these may come handy to alert other motorists whenever you are left stranded mid-way.

  5. Install Roadside Assistance Apps: Roadside service apps are an amazing way to get connected with towing service providers. Such apps are also useful for getting repair advice instantaneously. 
 
Last but not least, before gearing up for a road trip, take your two-wheeler or four-wheeler to a reliable local mechanic to ensure it is in tip-top condition. Plus, make sure you have adequate fuel in the tank before embarking on a road trip. 
 
Roadside emergencies can happen to anyone, anywhere. However, instead of panicking over the situation, you need to keep a cool head during the emergency. We hope the tips shared by us will help you tackle a roadside emergency safely and calmly.

I do agree that when looking for roadside assistance, it is important for us to always look for a helping hand. I do agree that when considering help, we need to look for some professionals. I think it would be wise for us to have a roadside assistance's number saved in our phone for emergencies.

I appreciate the tip to download roadside assistance apps so you have easy access to contacting a professional. My wife and I want to go on a road trip this summer to celebrate our anniversary. I'll look for a roadside service we can rely on if anything happens to our vehicle during our trip.

My uncle has been thinking about getting some help because his car's transmission just stopped working while he was driving home today. Getting it towed to a shop by a professional could allow him to be a lot safer. I liked what you said about how he should get off the road as soon as possible, and he should call a roadside assistance provider for help first.

I'm going to be heading out on a road trip, and I want to make sure that I do it safely. It makes sense that I would want to have the phone number of a towing service that is covered by my insurance! That way, I can ensure that I can get help at a good price.
