Your car broke down on the highway. Do these six things.

  1. Hazard lights on

    the moment you feel it. Ease left; get fully off the carriageway if you can.

  2. Everyone out, left side, behind the barrier.

    Never stand behind or beside the car in traffic.

  3. Warning triangle 50 metres back

    if you have one. At night, keep the parking lights on.

  4. Share your live location

    with someone you trust, and tell us the nearest kilometre stone when we call.

  5. Call for help before you open the bonnet.

    On a national highway, 1033 is the NHAI helpline; call us too, and we share the price and arrival time while you wait.

  6. Don’t accept a random tow.

    Ask for the price and the destination first. If it isn’t clear, wait for ours.
