Stay Cool when your car is stranded

I have a friend who went to a rural area last weekend. When she was going back home, her car developed a mechanical problem on the road. She was so panic and cry as nobody were able to give her a hand at that time. Lastly, a kind and helpful man stopped and help her to contact the mechanic nearby to solve the problem.

It is important to stay safe and cool when stranded. Try to avoid any sudden or panic-inspired maneuvers. You may turn on emergency flashers once you're safely off the road and do use extreme caution when getting out of your vehicle. Another method is set up reflectors, flares or other signal devices to alert the passing motorists.

The most important is call for help using cellular phone and provide the details of our location. After that, stay in the car, lock all the doors and roll up the windows when waiting for assistance ( it is important as there are many crimes happened in Malaysia regarding kidnapping and rapacious cases.
