Seek Emergency Help if Necessary

If you are afraid, have a medical condition, or have been in an accident, don’t just rely on a tow driver. You need prompt emergency assistance. Contact the police or an ambulance. Give them your precise location and a synopsis of the nature of your emergency, and then wait for help to arrive. If you have a serious medical condition or are pregnant, be sure to let the emergency operator know, so that your call can be appropriately prioritized.

Let Someone Know Where You Are  

As you await help, you need to reach out to someone who cares about you to tell them where you are and what has happened. This ensures someone will be tracking you, so if you disappear or need help, your loved one can contact the authorities. Let your loved one know where you are, how long you think you will be waiting for the tow driver, and whether you are experiencing any medical issues. Give your loved one a specific time that you will call back, so that they can reach out for help if you do not call back in a timely fashion.

Pull Your Car Completely Onto the Shoulder

When you’re stressed and distracted, it’s easy to forget about the basics of safe driving. But remember that other drivers will not be looking for you if you’re stranded alongside the road, or leaning only partially onto the shoulder. To keep yourself as safe as possible, pull as far off of the road as you can. At minimum, you must pull completely onto the shoulder. Ideally, you should pull even farther over than that.

Make Sure Your Phone is Available

Sure, it’s tempting to pass the time by watching movies online or endlessly texting friends. But doing so puts you in danger, especially if it drains your phone’s battery. Reserve your phone for emergencies only, and know that spending too much time on it can distract you from potential dangers around you.

Be Mindful of Health Concerns

If you have a history of health issues, you need to monitor them carefully while you await roadside service. Drink plenty of water if you can, and stay out of extreme heat and cold. Don’t overexert yourself by trying to walk to find help, and steer clear of high grass, where potential allergens, as well as dangerous animals, may lurk. You are almost always safest in your car.

Perhaps most importantly, ensure you are visible. Not only does this reduce your chances of being hit by a distracted motorist. It also makes it easier for  Motor Club of America to find you.
