An emergency on the road could occur anytime at any moment while driving. No matter if our vehicle is brand old or brand new there is a chance of an accident, puncture, or even an accident. We don’t know what could happen to us on the road, however, we can reduce the risk and increase our safety by taking easy steps.
Be Prepared
This may be the last thing we consider before embarking on a journey, however in many ways it’s the most important thing to think about. It is important to make sure that the vehicle we use is fitted with certain safety equipment to increase our safety and avoids accidents.
It is important to have breakdown equipment like reflective triangles, flags and even flares. When your car is broken down, you should place these in your vehicle in order to notify others on the road that there’s a problem ahead. Also, we should activate our hazards lights.
Other things could put in our vehicle which we must carry around as they can be helpful during an emergency. These include jumping start cables, tow ropes as well as a jack for lifting the vehicle and, obviously, don’t forget to check that your spare tyre is in good condition and roadworthy.
Even if we’re part of a roadside recovery company that could assist us, we should carry these items around in order to enhance our safety.
Transfer your car or passengers to safety
A car breakdown could happen to anyone anytime. It could happen situated in the middle of a city, or on a isolated country street. It may be on a major highway at night, or on a residential street during midday. The most important thing to remember, should it happen is to minimize the chance of further injury to you or the other road users.
In the beginning, you should seek out a secure location to stop, and that usually involves moving your car towards the other side. This isn’t always possible , especially if you’ve been involved in an accident with another vehicle, and your vehicle isn’t moving.
The next step is to think about the risk of remaining in your car in the situation in the event of an emergency. If your vehicle gets stuck on the roadway you must proceed with cautiousness to get out of the car and then move to the other side of the roadway, clear from danger. Don’t look at the any damage to your vehicle on the roadway!
Help Needed
