When Trouble Materializes

Tip Sheet

Tips for Employees and Volunteers

When you have car trouble:

• Drive to a busy, well-lighted street, if possible.
• Pull on the parking brake and turn on the vehicle’s flashing lights.
• If you have a wireless phone, call for assistance (the police, a towing service, a friend or colleague).
• Wait inside your car with the windows rolled up and the doors locked until the person you called arrives.
• Never leave with an unknown person to seek help. Instead, through a closed window, ask the person to call a towing service or the police.
