Smith Volvo Cars knows that no driver wants to have a roadside emergency. It is also true that being prepared for an unexpected breakdown can be safer for everyone involved. Here are some tips for drivers in San Luis Obispo, CA to remember.
You don't typically get to pick where a breakdown occurs, but you may still be able to get your vehicle out of traffic. Some roadside emergencies such as a flat tire may not restrict the ability to move the car. If you are able to drive a short distance, take it slow and easy and look for a firm, level spot away from traffic.
Once you are away from passing motorists, be sure to mark your vehicle with roadside triangles if you have them. You can always secure the vehicle and walk to a safer spot to call for help if necessary. Place your safety above all else.
