How to deal when your car breaks down on a road in the UK
Modern cars rarely break. When do the blame can often be traced to a maintenance usually poor and unable to look after the car properly. You should never overlook the defects which develops his car while driving. Always be vigilant to foreign odors or noise. If you happen to be prepared to stop and investigate.
If they break down your first concern should be to ensure that your vehicle it is not or may not become a danger to other users. If you can get out of the road. If your vehicle has been on the road switch the lights.
If you have a warning triangle on the road at least 45 meters behind your car on the same side of the road. If you have passengers and ask them out of the car and wait in a safe place.
To be prepared to deal with the general average use the following guide.
Engine Failure
If the engine fails while driving will lose power steering and power assist to the brakes. This will result in increasingly heavy direction. You will need a greater use of force to steer the car. You also need to press the brake pedal harder.
Motor overheats
If this happens then you should stop and let the engine cool. Once cool you can see under the hood to investigate a cause.
Tyre Blow-out
Namely when a tire burst while driving. If you ever find yourself is this situation here is what to do
1) Keep your eyes firmly on the road and the two hands on the wheel
2) Hold the steering wheel in a stable position, making only slight movements.
3) Put the hazard lights to show that you are having a problem. If you're on the highway in any lane that is not inside then do not do this immediately as it can cause impatient people to undermine you and increase the chances of an accident.
4) Try to identify where to take the vehicle to a stop outside the main flow of traffic - If on a motorway this will be the shoulder, or you may have to shoot only in a rest area or on the side of the road, avoiding curves.
5) apply the brake but do not remove the throttle and try to coast - mild slowdown (this is because if you have a tire defective brake very hard, you can make your car swerve out of control and cause an accident).
6) As your car stops on the drive identified 'safe, taking place "careful not to run and maintain close monitoring traffic around them. If you are in danger then hopefully the other users realize they have a problem and allow you to leave traffic flow.
7) Park up and leave their passengers in the car, taking care not to endanger you or those of passing cars. Move to a distance secure the vehicle.
Normal puncture
If one develops a flat tire while driving should be made to a safe place as soon as possible. Change of a tire on the road can be a very dangerous activity.
1) Make sure it is safe to change the wheel
2) Remove the wheel spare key and jack in the trunk of his car.
3) Make sure the handbrake is to put the car in first gear (park of an automatic). See the user manual for your car to find where is the fulcrum for the cat.
4) Make sure your cat has a strong base, then plug the connector is used to lift the car up just above the ground.
5) Remove the wheel nuts
6) Remove the wheel
7) Fit the spare wheel, tighten the wheel nuts and then lower the jack.
Go to the garage and get your damaged tire fixed or replaced.
A Fire
First, it is always advisable to keep a fire extinguisher. Secondly, if you start to smell gasoline fumes while driving, always return to pull over and investigate. If your vehicle catches fire Ask yourself and other passengers from the vehicle as quickly as possible. Call the fire department. Never attempt to extinguish a fire under the hood by the hood PENING as this can make the flames burn.
For many people crashing on the freeway is a frightening prospect, and since then the highway is a place of many dangers. If you have to stop on the highway because of their car breaks down, then this is what you should do.
1) Stop the vehicle on the shoulder and park as far to the left as you can.
2) Turn the steering wheel to full lock left. This bring the wheels front to the left so if you're beaten by another car from your car is not pushed back onto the road.
3) Turn on your emergency flashers. If it is night or there is poor visibility turn the lights on your side.
4) Leave your car with the doors left. If you have passengers then tell them to wait on the grassy bank or on the road as far as possible.
5) If pets leave them in your vehicle.
6) Telephone emergency services. If you know its location between two unions then use your mobile. If you do not know your location then walk to the nearest emergency phone and call from there. This report their location.
7) Do not try to repair your vehicle.
Wait for the emergency services on the grassy shore and to the extent of the roadway as possible.
If your car does not reach the hard shoulder then turn on the hazard warning lights and make sure it is safe to leave your vehicle make and then make their way onto the shoulder.
