🚗 Travel & Road Emergency

Unexpected problems can happen while driving, whether it is a flat tire, vehicle breakdown, severe weather, or an unplanned delay. A simple roadside emergency kit and a little preparation can help your family stay safer and more comfortable until help arrives.

What to Know

1. Keep a Roadside Kit

Carry basic emergency supplies such as a flashlight, reflective warning equipment, first-aid supplies, drinking water, and other items appropriate for your vehicle and local conditions.

2. Check Your Vehicle

Before a longer journey, check tires, fuel or battery charge, lights, brakes, fluids, and other basic vehicle conditions. Regular maintenance can reduce the chance of avoidable breakdowns.

3. Move to a Safe Location

If your vehicle develops a problem, move as far away from traffic as safely possible. Turn on hazard lights and use appropriate warning equipment when conditions allow.

4. Prepare for Weather Delays

Check reliable weather and road information before travelling during severe conditions. Carry extra water, food, warm or protective clothing, and other essentials when longer delays are possible.

5. Know How to Get Help

Keep emergency contacts, roadside assistance details, insurance information, and basic vehicle information accessible. If your location is unsafe, stay inside the vehicle with doors secured when appropriate and wait for professional assistance.
