Get out of the way of traffic
When you are having vehicle troubles and your car is starting to break down on you the safety of yourself and your passengers is the first priority. You definitely want avoid being in an auto accident. Move off the road as quickly and as safely as possible. If your engine has conked out and stopped running you'll have no choice but to coast off the road and onto the shoulder of the road.
Use the inertia and forward momentum of your vehicle for as long as it lasts. But it will fade quickly due to the drag of wind resistance, tire friction on the road, and good old gravity. You won’t have much time to choose a place to park on the side of the road. The more your vehicle slows down the more difficult it will be to brake and steer. The steering will become heavy and it will be difficult to move the steering wheel because the power steering runs off the engine. The power brakes will also not be working because the power steering hydraulic fluid pump also are run off of the car engine. You will have to use much more leg strength than normal on the brake pedal and more arm strength on the steering wheel than normal.
This is not the time to be scared or panic because you need to keep your eyes on the road and on where you want to go. Steer and brake as best you can as the vehicle slows down and coasts to a safe position on the side of the road. Once you have come to a stop, turn your front tires so they are pointing away from the road just in case you are stopped on an incline. This will help keep your car from rolling back into the road. Engage the emergency parking brake, and make sure to shift your transmission into park. Then turn on the emergency road hazard flashers so other drivers will stay clear of you.

BecauseIf you can't off of the road, call 911 for help. Don't get out of your car because you could get hit by another car. If you were able to coast or drive your vehicle to a safe spot on the side of the road turn on your emergency road hazard flashing lights, engage the emergency brake or parking brake, and put the transmission in park. If you must exit the vehicle, then exit on the passenger side, or on whichever side the doors open away from traffic.
Once you are safely on the side of the road and have come to a stop, and the emergency brake is engaged, and the hazard light flashers are on, look for road signs or landmarks to identify your location. You will need to tell the towing service and police if they are needed exactly where you are stopped. Look for exit signs, mile markers, intersections, or building addresses if you can see them. If you are not on the highway look for street signs and if you are near an intersection, or a building with an address. The towing service and the police will need that information to find you quickly.
It is very important for safety reasons to make your vehicle as visible as possible to other drivers. This is especially important at night and in bad weather. You want to make it easy for the other drivers to see you and for the police or roadside assistance to find you. Have your emergency flashers on and the hood of your vehicle up.
Know where your emergency hazard lights are
Because it's essential that you turn on your vehicle's emergency road hazard flasher lights when you are stopped on the side of the road you need to know where they are and how to find them quickly.
If you have never used the emergency flashers before the first time should not be during a real emergency towing situation. You should test them a couple of times a year so you know they work and where they are without having to think about it. A stressful situation is not the time to be searching for your emergency road hazard lights. It's a good idea to test them to make sure that they work and none of the light bulbs are out.
The vehicle manufacturers place the emergency hazard lights switch in a easy to see location on your center console or dashboard. Look for a large button shaped like a triangle or with a red triangle on it. Sometimes it's near the center console parking brake handle.

Dead vehicle battery
A dead vehicle battery doesn't have to turn into a towing an emergency towing situation unless there is some major underlying electrical system problem that caused the dead battery.
But a dead battery when you are on the side of a busy road is a serious danger situation. Especially at night or in bad weather. This is because your lights won't work and your hazard flashers won't work. So other vehicle will have a very difficult time seeing you until they are too close at an unsafe distance to react quickly and avoid your vehicle.
A weak and dying battery is also a dangerous situation. If your headlights and emergency hazard flashers are only be dimly lit other drivers may not see your car on the side of the road. So a dead or weak battery makes your roadside towing emergency situation much more dangerous.
The potential for having a weak or dead battery means it's wise to buy a roadside emergency kit. The kit should include a set of orange reflective triangle warning signs and reflective safety vests to wear when you are setting up your warning signs. Keep this road emergency safety kit in your vehicle as a supplement to your emergency hazard flashers. Even when your hazard flasher are working and turned on you should always use the orange reflective triangle road hazard warning signs and reflective safety vests.
When you are not prepared and you don't have the orange reflective warning signs, you will have to make due with whatever you have to make some sort of vehicle in distress signal. If you have a white tee-shirt or some other piece of light colored clothing you can use it as a flag. This is no where near as good as the orange reflective waring triangle signs, but it's better than no signal. Hang your makeshift warning flag on the vehicle antenna if it has one, but most newer vehicles do not have upright antenna's so you can hang it outside the driver’s door window. Shut the window to on the edge of the cloth to hold it in place. This will be a signal to other drivers and police that you are in distress. Another thing you can do to make your vehicle more visible to traffic is to open the hood on your vehicle and leave it up.
The brightly colored orange or yellow reflective vests should be worn when you are outside of the vehicle. You should be outside or your vehicle except to set up the road warning signs but If you must leave your vehicle, wear the yellow or orange reflective vests.
Of course wearing the safety vests is especially important at night and in bad weather when visibility is poor. Just because you are wearing the safety vests don't get a false sense of security and get careless. Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, every year hundreds of people are killed and thousands seriously injured in traffic accidents involving stopped of disabled cars that did not have their emergency hazard flasher lights on. This is such a serious problem that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has commissioned a new study by a company that makes enhanced hazard lighting systems.
The firm Impact Research used federal crash statistics and transportation data analysis for the years 2016 to 2018 and estimated that 566 people were killed and 14,371 injured each year over this two year period. The road crashes involved disabled vehicles where visibility was most likely a major factor. The total annual cost of those crashes on society is estimated to be about $8.8 billion in medical payments, lost wages, and death or disability costs.
Wearing safety vests and using road warning signs and signals will not guarantee your safety. You must still be very vigilant and pay attention to other moving vehicles at all times. Many people have been injured or killed by drivers who were not paying attention to the road. Other drivers are easily distracted by a dog or children in their car, or when they look away to change the vehicle radio or grab a cup in a cup holder. At typical highway speeds, a driver only needs to look away from the road for a few seconds to close the distance between his vehicle and a stopped vehicle and hit the stopped vehicle.
