When your car unexpectedly breaks down, it can be a scary time for you and your passengers. Whether it's a flat tire or engine trouble, having a plan in case of a breakdown can help keep you calm.
Your first priority should be to get your vehicle to a safe location away from traffic, if possible. If you've had a tire blowout, don't be afraid to drive on your rim to get your car and your passengers out of danger. Set up flares and reflector triangles around your car, leaving enough space that other vehicles can see you from a distance.
