1. Pull over to the shoulder. As soon as you realize your vehicle is disabled, pull over to the shoulder of the highway as far to the right as possible. This will help to create a safe buffer between your vehicle and any traffic passing on the highway.
2. Turn on your hazard lights. Turn on your hazard lights to warn other drivers that your vehicle is disabled and to make yourself more visible. This will help to prevent any accidents from occurring.
3. Get out of your vehicle and stand behind the guardrail. If it is safe to do so, get out of your vehicle and stand behind the guardrail. This will help to protect you from any oncoming traffic.
4. Call for help. Call for help from a towing service or the police. Be sure to tell them your location and the nature of your disability.
5. Be aware of your surroundings. While you are waiting for help to arrive, be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to any vehicles that are entering the highway. If you see a vehicle that is not slowing down or is swerving, be prepared to move quickly.
6. Use flares or reflectors. If you have any flares or reflectors, place them around your vehicle to make it more visible to other drivers. This will help to prevent any accidents from occurring.
7. Be patient. It may take some time for help to arrive. Be patient and stay safe until help arrives.
