When a roadside emergency happens, you need to be prepared to protect both yourself and your vehicle. At Billingsley Hyundai of Lawton, we want to help keep our community safe. That's where the following list of tips for handling roadside emergencies in Lawton, OK comes into play.
First, get off of the road as much as possible. Second, make your vehicle as visible as possible. Turn on your hazard lights and place a warning triangle or a flare if you have one. Be careful exiting your vehicle and always exit on the side that is away from the traffic.
If you need to leave your vehicle for any reason, leave a note with your contact information. That way emergency services or those from roadside assistance know how to get ahold of you. Ultimately, it is better to stay inside your vehicle with the doors locked while waiting for assistance.
