If you are unfortunate enough to have a problem and your car stops
, there are several things you should do. As always, safety comes first. You should look to the safety of any occupants initially, and then at the position of the vehicle itself. Contact your insurance company as early as possible. These days most companies have some sort of claims service to advise you at the scene of an incident, and this should help prevent you doing anything that may prejudice your claim, such as causing further damage to your car. They may also arrange to have the car picked up for you. Lastly, if the vehicle is a potential hazard or obstruction, you should inform the local emergency services and follow their instruction.
