Safety Tips
At Scott’s Affordable Towing, Inc., your safety is important to us. Therefore, we have provided some helpful hints in case of a breakdown.
- Turn on your emergency flashers - Switch on the emergency flashers immediately
- Pull off the road to a safe location - If possible, try to move your vehicle to the right-hand side of the road out of the direction of traffic.
- Do not leave your vehicle stopped in a traffic lane. Move the vehicle as far away from the traffic as you can. Try to get far enough that you obtain the space to open your door without stepping out into traffic, while also being visible enough so that people can see you.
- Be Prepared For Problem Situations - Keep items in the vehicle such as flashlights, flares, blankets, and a first-aid kit in case a problem situation occurs. Also be sure to have a mobile phone handy, as it is one of the most valuable safety tools during breakdown situations. Know where items are in the vehicle such as your jack, spare tire, and other tools and be familiar with how they work.
