Car Breakdown: Many times when we go on the expressway, our car either breaks down or the oil tank becomes empty. In such a situation, we face the biggest problem when you do not even have cash. Now in such a situation you do not need to panic.
turn on emergency lights
If the car breaks down in the middle of the road. So in such a situation, the first and foremost step is to switch on the hazard lights (emergency lights) inside the vehicle. This will alert other drivers that you are experiencing a problem. Keep these lights on until help arrives.
park your car on the side of the road
If your car breaks down midway, then by all means park it on the roadside before midway. By doing this you can leave the traffic free and then think about your car. There is also a chance of a road accident if the vehicle is left in the middle of the road. Therefore, if you feel that some problem is about to arise while pushing the vehicle or while moving, then immediately stop the vehicle by pulling it to one side.
emergency kit
It is important to have an emergency kit in case the car breaks down. That means that kit should contain first aid, non-perishable food, water, toys for children and necessary tools. You can also keep a cable in your car. Because sometimes it happens that a heavy vehicle is ready to pull your vehicle but you do not have the cable. Therefore, you can use these things and take care of yourself until help arrives.
