No matter how much you care for your car\u2019s maintenance, some or the other time you are going to face an emergency while you are on the road heading towards your destination. The best solution is first to remain calm and composed in this situation and second to be prepared for it with best tools. Here are some tips on what to do till the tow truck arrives for your help.<\/p>\n
Before you face a car breakdown or accident, you should build a supply kit which should contain items you will require if emergencies do take place. This kit will help you survive in unkind conditions such as cold. It will also help you to go through the long waiting period before the tow truck comes to rescue you, especially if the road is desolate.<\/p>\n
Such a kit should contain a first aid kit, water and food like energy bars, warm blankets, candles and matches, flashlight and batteries, fire extinguishers, a charged power bank for cell phones and tools like wrenches, sealants, a spare wheel and jacks. If it\u2019s winter, you should also carry scraper, snowbrush, small shovel and antifreeze.<\/p>\n

You should be prepared for a road emergency with the above-mentioned kit. Also keep your cell phone fully charged so that you can call for roadside assistance when an emergency occurs. Make sure that you have got the emergency kit. Keep phone numbers of trusted roadside assistance services like Roadside Response, car towing services in Canberra, Adelaide and Perth<\/a><\/strong>, easily accessible in the car.<\/p>\n When you realize that your car needs repairs or you undergo a minor accident, go out of the travel lane immediately and get to the side of the road. There are emergency shoulders on some highways where you can park in safely. After parking, tie a white kerchief or cloth to the antenna or door handle of the car to indicate to other motorists that you are in need of help.<\/p>\n Also set up warning signs to show other drivers that your car is parked in that area. Prefer to stay inside the car all the time except while signaling for help or performing a repair.<\/p>\n If you face an emergency in rain or snow, it\u2019s extremely important to stay inside the car as far as possible. Go out only to set up reflectors. Never roam out on the road. Poor visibility can lead to other motorists hit you. Keep yourself warm with blankets and other supplies.<\/p>\n3.
