At some point in your life you will end up with car trouble. It is inevitable that you will have a blow out on the freeway, run out of gas or have a car battery die. There are other problems that can happen to your vehicle that can end you up in the side of the road. When this happens you want to figure out what the problem is but that means that you need to take your car home or to a shop to be evaluated. That is where calling a tow truck comes in handy. There are many aspects of towing a car that you want to leave it to a professional. Not only can you cause more damage to the car that you are towing but also the vehicle you are attempting to tow with. When you are at a point that you know you need the car moved but you cannot drive it away, you want to call out a tow company to the location. While you are waiting you want to avoid causing any more trouble.
Citywide Towing Outlines What to Avoid While Waiting for a Tow Truck to Arrive
Alert Other Drivers when Car has Broken Down: It seems that all your car troubles happen at the worst time possible. This might be on your way to a meeting, or while you are on the freeway. When you are forced to pull off the side of the road and wait for a tow truck you want to make sure that you are safe. You also need to make sure that you alert the other drivers that may be coming your way. The first thing that you can do is to turn on your hazard lights on your vehicle. You can also use flares especially if you are on a hill or a curve so that anyone coming around the bend is warned in advance of the possible obstruction. This should give them ample time to move out of the way.
Do You Stay in the Car or Get Out when Stranded on Side of Road?: The other mistake that some people make when they are stranded on the side of the road is getting out of the car. There are times that you can get out like if you are in a parking lot but if you are on the side of the road with nowhere to stand away it is often better to stay in. A vehicle may not see you standing there or they may hit the car which can run into you. This will cause you to become injured more so than if you were to be in the vehicle. If you can get far away from the flow of traffic you can get out and move away.
Confirm Towing Company is Who You Called: You want to make sure that you call out a tow company that you want. You also want to be sure that the tow truck that shows up is the company that you called before they hook up your car. Some tow company troll for stranded drivers and will come by acting like they were called. You may end up paying a higher price or have your vehicle taken to a place you did not authorize.
