When you are driving it is always best to be aware of what to do in case of a roadside emergency. Rather it is a technical problem or just a flat tire; ensure that you have pulled over to the side of the road where it will not cause an injury to you or another driver. Once your are pulled over, if it is safer, get out of the car on the passenger’s side of the car and place flares or other warning devices near your car to warn other drivers. Contact emergency numbers for assistance. At this point, if you can do the repairs then do so, otherwise get back into the car and wait for help. Something every car should have is an emergency kit which contains flares, bottled water, flashlight with batteries, blankets, food, jumper cables, shovel, tool kit, sand or kitty litter for traction, an extra cell phone battery, a couple of games or a deck of cards, and a first kit containing all of the basics. If you or someone who normally rides in your car takes some form of medication, make sure that you have some with you in the emergency kit in case it takes a while for help to get to you.
