The
road can be a dangerous place. We all
take the necessary precautions to create a safe vessel for our daily commute,
but in some cases, things are unavoidable.
If you have been the victim of a flat tire, or mechanical mishap, then
you’ve experienced that lonely feeling.
You’re stuck on the side of the road, all of your contacts are either
busy or too far away for contact, and you feel stranded. Alone. Roadside assistance has created a safe haven
for daily commuters. It’s a great
service that provides assistance to motorists whose vehicles have suffered a
mechanical failure that is significant enough to leave them stranded. In today’s blog, we provide some tips for
getting through it.
The
first thing you should do is call and establish with the operator what the
problem is. The call is then relayed to
the tow driver or emergency officials.
By popping the hood to see what’s wrong or getting out and checking the
damage, you can survey the problem. This
gives the officials a general idea of what to expect. Please, take caution, if you feel as if you’re
taking a chance, stay in your vehicle!!
The
next thing to do is describe your location.
According to eHow: “Tell the operator where exactly you were driving and where you think you may be on
the road. This will help the operator call the closest tow truck company or
emergency medical services so that they can get to you as quickly as possible.
Turning on your flashers or your headlights and, if you feel safe doing so, put
out reflective triangles behind your car to help the tow truck driver find you
in a shorter amount of time.”
Information! Information!
Information! Always keep a copy of all the info you would need for
roadside assistance. One should be in
your wallet or purse, while the other should be easily accessible in your
vehicle. This should include the numbers
that you would need for the operator, expiration date, and other details.
These
are just a few tips for you guys to check out…feel free to comment!
