If your vehicle stalls in the roadway, what should you do?

When your vehicle stalls in the roadway, moving it off the roadway as quickly as possible is crucial for your safety and the safety of other drivers. Being stalled in traffic can put you at risk of accidents from approaching vehicles, as they may not be aware of your situation until it’s too late. By relocating your vehicle to a safe area, such as the shoulder of the road, you minimize the hazard your vehicle poses to both yourself and other road users.

This action allows for better traffic flow and helps prevent potential collisions. Once your vehicle is safe, you can then assess the situation and decide whether to call for assistance or attempt to resolve the issue if it's safe to do so. Being proactive in moving your vehicle out of the way helps to ensure you don’t contribute to further traffic problems or accidents.
