Towing Tips
When you find yourself in car that will not go any further, it makes good sense to call a towing company or for roadside assistance. It will take a little time for them to arrive, and in the meantime there are some things that you should do - here are some practical tips:
First, Stay Calm
Situations like these are annoying, but rest assured that you have done the right thing by seeking help. Staying calm will help you think clearly and act rationally - always the best choice. And if there are passengers in the car, like children, it's best to keep them entertained and calm. And to ensure that your friends and family are not worried, it's a good idea to let them know that you're OK.
Second, Check for Safety
If you can move your car, get it out of the flow of traffic. But only if you can do it safely. Getting the car into a better location will be safer for you, the car, our roadside assistance team and other drivers. Stay with your vehicle if it's safe for you to do so.
Third, Be Aware and Alert
It pays to be aware of your surroundings when you are stranded by the side of the road. Alert not only to traffic and cars around you, but also to any offers of help that may come from passing motorists or tow trucks. There are many good people out there, but also many who might try to take advantage of your situation. Often it is just better to wait for the towing service to arrive, and make sure your phone is available to receive calls and text messages.
Fourth, Get Documentation Ready
Your driver's license and auto insurance will be helpful to have on hand when the towing company arrives. It makes sense to use the time available while they are on their way to get these documents ready.
Fifth, Check ID of the Towing Company
In the emotion of the moment, it's easy to forget to check that the towing company that arrives is the one you expected. Always check their ID and make sure that you are comfortable with them before letting them tow your car away! And if you have not specified the tow destination, make sure you know it before they leave. The staff at the base office of the towing company should help you with this. If they are unwilling to do so, do not let the tow truck take your car!
Sixth, Inform the Police and Insurance Company
If you've been in an accident, and particularly if there has been damage to any other person's property, or any personal injury, it's vital that you inform the police as soon as possible. It also is a good idea to inform your insurance company as this can facilitate a later claim.
