Remain Calm
One of the worst things anyone could do is panic. Whether your vehicle breaks down on the side of the road or it breaks down in the middle of the road, remain calm.
Clearly, there’s nothing you can do to prevent your vehicle from breaking down — but by taking precaution and preventive measures (i.e., oil changes, tire checks). Understand that it happens to the best of us.
Play it Safe
Before inspecting your vehicle from all angles, it best to always play it safe. For example, if you pull your car over to the side of the road, do not get out and inspect the side that’s facing the road.
There have been incidents where another vehicle swerved out of control, unfortunately slamming into the one that is pulled over. Just keep in mind: stay inside your vehicle until roadside assistance is there to help.
Know your Numbers
In the day and age of smartphone technology, drivers luck out when it comes to finding the nearest gas station, auto body shop or roadside assistance vehicle. Although you can always rely on a search engine (via your phone), it’s best to know your options for roadside assistance.
Before you dial any old number, it’s best to check what your insurance company provides to you. Some companies have a free roadside assistance program that will help you out in your time of vehicular need.
If your insurance company doesn’t offer that, then it’s best to weigh out your options and research well-known roadside companies who can help!
Carry Necessities
Although the chances of your car breaking down in the desert are limited on Long Island, it’s always best to pack your vehicle with necessities.
Some of the most important are bottles of water, a first-aid kit, a blanket, a pillow and any other odds and ends that would help if your vehicle breaks down. It’s always best to be prepared (and ahead of the game) then have nothing at all.
