There are lots of times that you might end up needing a tow truck to come out and take your vehicle to a safe location. The vehicle that you are using to get around can end up needing to be towed for many different reasons. If you are in a car accident you likely need to have a tow truck out to move the car to a garage to have it repaired. If your car breaks down with some sort of engine trouble you need to have your vehicle taken to a repair shop as well. Lastly you might be out of gas or stuck on the side of the road and need to be winched out. Roadside assistance are also reasons that a tow truck may need to come out and deliver what you need or even tow your car if they cannot help. You want to make sure that when you call for a tow truck you know what to do to be safe when waiting. NonStop Towing outlines what you should do when you are waiting for a tow truck.
Stay in Vehicle when Waiting for a Tow
When you are waiting to have your car towed you want to think about the weather outside. If you are in a Las Vegas heat wave or the weather is very cold it may be best to stay in the car. The temperature outside might not be safe to stand outside while you are waiting. Being in your car and using the heater or the air conditioner is the best option. If the weather outside is agreeable you can stand outside of the car.
Stay Safe when Broken Down on Side of Road
If you are able to stay out of your car you want to get out but you want to make sure that you are not in danger. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you pull off the side of the road as far as possible so that you are not in the way of any coming traffic. You want to then exit the vehicle but stand where you have an eye on the car. You can stay clear enough away so that if someone were to come in contact with your car you are not getting hit as well. You want to make sure that you are close enough that when the tow truck arrives they are able to make contact with you and set up for the tow.
Remove Personal Belongings Before Car is Towed
You also want to make sure that you are prepared for the car or truck to be towed. When it is towed the car will usually be kept at a garage or a repair shop for some time. That means that you want to make sure that you have your things removed from the car. You want to take out anything that is worth value out and with you. You also want to make sure that you get access to your cars insurance info and registration so that it is kept safe while the car is being repaired.
