What to do when the car strikes in the middle of the highway or highway? – First car driver’s duty: Keep calm! Turn on the emergency light switch and – if the car is still rolling – move to the right of the road edge or even better: from the road. Dr. Johann, expert at the Allianz Center for Technology, gives important tips:
How do I leave the vehicle correctly?
The first bid is: Be careful when getting off! Passengers and passengers leave the car to the right and seek protection behind the guardrail. If there is no plank, wait a safe distance from the road.
What should I do next?
Now the vehicle that is left has to be secured. We, as safety experts from the Allianz Center for Technology, recommend using a warning reflective vest. This vest is not (yet) a must in Germany, but it is already mandatory in most European holiday countries. Dressed with the warning vest, the folded-up warned triangle is then carried back about a hundred meters at the edge of the road and safely raised. If the panel is behind a curve, the warp triangle should be placed before the curve.
Whom do I call for help?
If the error on the car cannot be solved by itself, then now is time to call for help. If you do not have a mobile phone, you can reach the next road maintenance office via the emergency call pillar. The black arrow on the guide post on the side of the road points the way to the next column. The emergency pillar also offers the advantage of having the exact location on the flap.
What is the emergency number abroad?
The international emergency number 112 can be dialed with any mobile phone. The police dressed in reflective clothing will help to solve your problems. The message includes, in addition to the location, the direction of travel and the license plate. Always indicate your own mobile phone number, so that the assistants can call back if necessary and do not have to look for unnecessarily long.
