PREFACE
In an Emergency
IMPORTANT
Remember the breakdown safety code
If a breakdown occurs while travelling:
• Wherever possible, consistent with road safety and
traffic conditions, the car should be moved off the
main thoroughfare, preferably into a lay-by.
If a
breakdown occurs on a motorway, pull well over to
the inside of the hard shoulder.
• Switch on hazard lights.
• If available, position a warning triangle or a flashing
amber light 150 to 500 ft behind your vehicle to warn
approaching traffic. Note it is a legal requirement
of some countries that a warning triangle is carried
in the vehicle, if in doubt consult the local highways
agency for further information.
• Consider evacuating passengers through nearside
doors onto the verge as a precaution in case your
vehicle is accidentally struck by other traffic.
