Breakdown Safety and Survival
If you break down on the highway:
Get your vehicle off of the roadway as far as you can away from any possibility that someone could lose control or not see and collide with your parked vehicle.
Wherever possible nurse it off the highway
Park behind a guard rail, an overpass abutment, large tree or other obstacle that will afford you some level of deflection from an out of control vehicle.
If you are on an off ramp, never stop on the outside of a curve. If the vehicle comes to rest on the outside of a curve:
Wait until it is safe (no vehicles coming)
Put your vehicle in neutral and roll backward or forward to the inside most are of the curve (the apex).
Put your hazard lights (flashers) on
If you are not able to get the vehicle safely off of the roadway as described two sections above.
Get out of your vehicle and stand far away from your vehicle and the roadway.
Stay to the apex side of the curve even when you are out of the vehicle. Other vehicles often lose control and strike parked vehicles as a result of rubber necking or distraction.
Again, try to stay behind heavy, large objects that will deflect out of control vehicles from hitting you.
