What to do while you wait
Once help is on the way, move the car out of a travel lane and onto a shoulder if you can, and turn on your hazard lights. On a busy road like Route 440, the safest place is often outside the vehicle and well away from traffic. If you are at a curb spot, stay with the car if it is safe. Keep your phone handy so the operator can confirm your cross street, and have your destination in mind, the shop, home, or dealership you want the car taken to.
