What to Do When Your Car Stops Running While Driving

What to Do When Your Car Stops Running While Driving Augusta
Possibly one of the most inconvenient experiences while on the road would be when your car stops running while driving. If this has already happened to you, then you probably already know how much of a hassle it can be especially when you can’t start your car straight away or at all. It is even more worrisome when you have very little troubleshooting knowledge, you’re in an active street or highway, or the middle of nowhere.

So what do you have to do when the engine stops working and your car just won’t go anymore? If you have some troubleshooting knowledge, now would be the best time to put what you know into action. But if you already know that even if you lift the car’s hood and you wouldn’t know what to do, then it’s time to think of better ways to get yourself out of that situation. Here are some tips:
  • If possible, pull over to the side of the road where it’s safe. Let go of the brakes and give your car a little push. This is easier when you have someone else with you who can help you push or take over the steering wheel.
  • Stay inside your car. The only exception to this tip would be if you see smoke coming from anywhere in your car. If your car stops working with no obvious reason, the safest place to be would be inside your car where it’s safe.
  • Turn on your hazard lights and place your early warning device (EWD) behind your car. An EWD is especially important if your hazard lights fail to work. Sometimes, especially if it’s an electrical malfunction, the lights of your car might not work. Perhaps, a jumpstart would help. You have to be extra careful when the lights won’t work and your car trouble happened at night.
  • Call for roadside assistance right away. You can call a towing company so that they can take your car to a safe place as soon as possible.

When your car stops running while driving, it is important to stay calm. Do not panic. Panicking won’t help out at all. If you are in the Augusta area, call Chastain’s Towing | Augusta Tow Truck right away. You may reach us at 706-705-5270 for towing services and more. Free quotes available.
