How to best act in an emergency?
If you suddenly find yourself in a broken down car you should keep the following tips in mind:
Keep safe: If you break down in a remote location, or at night, lock your car doors and stay in the car until help arrives.
Don’t ride with strangers: It is a bad idea to hitch a ride to the next town with a stranger, even if he/she sounds awfully nice and helpful.
Carry an emergency phone charger at all times: It is a good idea to keep your mobile phone charged while driving so that your batteries will be charged should your car suddenly break down. That way you can call for help as soon as possible.
Follow the advice given to you: When stuck in a broken down vehicle it is best to use common sense when dealing with a mobile car service. If they advise you to tow your car back to the depot, then they do so for good reasons. These guys are trained to find faults fast, and will act in your best interest.
