Protecting yourself and the vehicle
A vehicle breakdown in traffic is dangerous and creates a great
risk for you, your passengers, and others.
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Move
the vehicle a safe distance off the road where it is safe to park
and, if necessary, lock all doors in an emergency. Turn on the
emergency flashers and set up another warning device about
25 yards (25 meters) behind the vehicle to warn approaching
traffic.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who cannot
help themselves alone in the vehicle when locking the doors.
This could result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an
emergency. Depending on the time of year, people trapped in
the vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low
temperatures.
