What to do when you are stranded?
1. Get to a safe place
The most important thing to do is to make sure you and your passengers are safe. Of course, you do not have any say in the location where your car gives up the ghost. So it is important that, when you are stranded at a location in the way of other traffic, you get yourselves to a safe place immediately. If possible, move your car off the road. When on the motorway and you cannot get to the next exit, pull up on the hard shoulder.
2. Hazard lights
No matter where you are, always switch on your hazard lights, so everybody can see you. It is also advisable to keep on your side lights, so drivers that come from other directions can also see you.
3. Warning Triangle
Put a warning triangle about 50 meters behind your vehicle. Make sure you wear a reflective safety jacket when you do this. The most important thing is to be seen. For your car but also for yourself.
4. Get out of the car
We recommend you and your passenger get out of the car and get yourselves to a save place. Possibly behind an existing barrier.
