Stuck on the Road? Your 24/7 Checklist for Breakdown Assistance

It’s a scenario no driver wants to face: your car suddenly sputters, a warning light flashes, or you hear an alarming noise, and before you know it, you're stranded on the side of a busy road in the UAE. A car breakdown can be stressful and inconvenient, especially in unfamiliar areas of Dubai or Abu Dhabi. But panic won't help. Being prepared with a clear plan can make all the difference. At CODRIVE, we're not just about routine maintenance; we're always ready with 24/7 breakdown assistance to get you back on track.

Your Immediate Action Plan When Your Car Breaks Down

Safety is your top priority. Follow these steps if your vehicle breaks down:

1. Prioritize Safety: Pull Over Safely

• Move to the Shoulder: If possible, safely steer your car to the emergency shoulder or a safe, well-lit area away from traffic.
• Activate Hazard Lights: Turn on your hazard warning lights immediately to alert other drivers to your presence.
• Use Warning Triangles: If you have them, place reflective warning triangles 50-100 meters behind your vehicle to provide ample warning, especially at night or in low visibility.

2. Stay Visible and Secure

• Stay Inside (If Safe): If you're on a busy highway, it's often safest to remain inside your vehicle with your seatbelt on, especially if the weather is extreme.
• Exit Carefully (If Necessary): If you must exit, do so from the passenger side and stand clear of traffic, behind a barrier if one is available.
• Stay Calm: Take a deep breath. Panicking can make the situation worse.

3. Assess the Situation (Briefly)

• Identify the Problem (If Obvious): Is it a flat tire? Overheating? Out of fuel? Knowing the issue can help you explain it when you call for assistance.
• Do Not Attempt Risky Repairs: Unless you are a trained professional and it is safe to do so, avoid trying to fix complex issues on the roadside.
