Firstly, if a vehicle malfunctions during operation, the driver should first try to utilize the inertia of the vehicle and drive it off the roadway to the side of the road. On roads or highways with emergency parking lots, vehicles should be parked within the emergency parking lot. At this time, do not consider the loss of the vehicle, such as discovering a flat tire. It is better to destroy the tire and park the vehicle on the side instead of parking on the roadway. Unless the vehicle is indeed unable to move.
Secondly, after the car is parked, immediately turn on the hazard warning lights, commonly known as “double bounce lights”; At night, headlights and fog lights with good light penetration should also be turned on.
Thirdly, the driver should observe the rearview mirror and confirm safety before getting off the vehicle. Similarly, while ensuring safety, special warning signs are set up in the direction of oncoming traffic from behind. On ordinary roads, warning signs should be set 50 meters away during the day and 80 meters away at night. On highways, warning signs should be placed 100 meters behind faulty vehicles. Specialized warning signs can reflect light at night and are more eye-catching during the day. Therefore, drivers should carry specialized warning signs with their vehicles instead of using tires or buckets to temporarily replace them in case of malfunction.
