to slow down your car if the car seems off while driving. Do not forget to use hazard lights to let other motorists notice your car situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid a sudden brake. Move your car slowly to the left lane to avoid traffic congestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the danger warning light on even if the car has stopped or is parked on the side of the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Push_the_car\"><\/span>Push the car<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What if the car stops in the middle of the highway? Try to push the car to the roadside (if you can). Doing so will help to ensure the traffic flow unbothered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your left shoulder to move the car while controlling the steering wheel with your right hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please seek help from the others if you cannot push the car alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wear_high_visibility_safety_vest\"><\/span>Wear high visibility (safety) vest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The high visibility&nbsp;vest&nbsp;is a mandatory&nbsp;safety&nbsp;element in every vehicle.
