While waiting, make sure your vehicle is safely off the road if possible, and turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers. If it’s unsafe to remain in your car—such as on a busy highway—move to a secure location nearby. Keep your phone handy so the tow truck driver can contact you if needed, and avoid accepting help from unverified individuals. If you’re in a parking lot or residential area, stay in your vehicle if it feels safe and comfortable. Your safety is most important, so take precautions depending on the environment and visibility.
