After the vehicle breaks down, accidents and other abnormal situations on the highway, if it is not properly dealt with at the first time, it is very easy to cause secondary accidents.
After an accident or breakdown on the highway
Be sure to dispose of it quickly and correctly
Avoid secondary accidents!
1. Correct parking
When an accident or vehicle breakdown, first turn on the double flashing lights at the first time, drive the car into the emergency stop zone or the right shoulder to stop; if the vehicle has lost power, use its inertia to slide into the emergency stop zone; if the vehicle has stopped running, you can use the power generated by the starting motor to move or push into the emergency stop zone.
2. Ensure the safety of personnel
After the vehicle is properly placed, the occupants of the vehicle should be evacuated to a safe place outside the guardrail to wait for rescue, and must not walk around at will on the highway or intercept passing vehicles for help to avoid secondary accidents.
3. Set up warning signs
After moving the vehicle to a safe area, place the warning triangle correctly behind the vehicle to alert the oncoming vehicles to the alarm. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the direction of the incoming vehicle, and take evasive measures in case of emergency.
Setting up a warning triangle is equivalent to setting up a safety barrier for the vehicle
◆ On the highway, warning signs should be set up 150 meters behind the car;
◆In case of rain and fog, the distance must be extended to 200 meters;
◆ If there is an accident when driving in a curve, the warning sign should be placed before the curve to remind the vehicle to avoid the faulty vehicle.
Tips:
◆ Before setting up warning signs, be sure to turn on the double flashing warning lights of accidents or breakdown vehicles;
◆ In the process of placement, you should hold the triangle card, face outward with reflection, and walk in the direction of the oncoming vehicle, while paying attention to the vehicles on the left and right.
Fourth, call the police for help
After completing the first three items, please call 110 for police or 12122 for help as soon as possible, and correctly describe the location and direction of the vehicle to the traffic police, and wait for rescue.

What about finding you in the first place?
01
Read kilometer piles and meter piles
The most critical and easiest way is to read the kilometer pile and the 100-meter pile. In general, the "kilometer pile" on the highway is placed on the right guardrail, and there is a piece every 1 kilometer, which is marked with the name and number of kilometers of the expressway.
Every 100 meters, there is a small circular green sign on the guardrail on the right, which is a 100-meter pile, and the number displayed on it is "100 meters" and "kilometers" below.
02
Effective alarm shortens rescue time
When calling the police, you must clearly state the following information: where you are coming from, where you are going, report the name of the road, then report the direction of the vehicle, and finally report the 100-meter pile or kilometer pile where the vehicle is located.
In the process of waiting for rescue
Always keep an eye on the situation on the highway
Keep yourself safe
Special emphasis is placed on the treatment of nights and special situations
In addition to a flashlight, it's a good idea to have one or two reflective vests on board. When a car breaks down at night, it can make it easier for oncoming cars to spot you, thus avoiding some potential hazards.
It's a matter of life safety
Don't let up for a moment!
