You’re driving, not a care in the world, when your car suddenly enters an AZ Dust Storm. No matter when and where, it’s an unnerving experience, especially if it happens on a busy highway. Do you know what to do if you find yourself stranded? Read on for some general tips that can help you stay safe if your car breaks down.
- Slow down and pull off the road: Ease your foot off the gas pedal, signal and carefully steer your vehicle toward the right shoulder as far as you can. Put the car in park, shut off your lights, engage the emergency brake and turn the steering wheel away from the road. That way, your car can’t roll into oncoming traffic.
- Stay in your vehicle: Getting out of your car can put you in danger of being hit by oncoming traffic. Sitting in an immobile vehicle with traffic all around you is unnerving, but it is the right thing to do.
- Wait for the dust storm to end: Play it safe and avoid the temptation to drive your vehicle when the visibility is bad..
