There is much advice around for what to do when you breakdown. But the challenge is that many do not read or watch the advice until they do breakdown and then it is too late. Consumer choices have produced a small video with their own opinions of what to do to, in the vain that many searching the internet will find their video.
Basic stuff that we may not think off is mentioned here. For example get out of the passenger side when on a busy road such as a motorway. Wearing something reflective if possible, but of course get the car off the road if possible. It also cover the fact that motorway breakdown services will be expensive if you do not have breakdown cover and not to forget you can still ring the national breakdown cover organization and they will come out, but will charge you something like 60 to 90 pounds to take your car off the motorway. When you compare this price with an annual policy which can start less than 30 pounds from any of the 3 main UK organisations such as the RAC, AA or Green Flag, you can see what the risk is, especially driving an older car.
