Get to Safety and Light
At night, aim for a well-lit, populated spot — a lot, a gas station, a side street — and turn on your hazards. If you feel unsafe or you’re in traffic, call 911 first.
Assess Calmly
Note what happened: did it die, fail to start, overheat, or light up a warning? Those details help a mechanic come prepared and give you an accurate arrival time.
