Explanation
If your car breaks down on the highway, don't panic. Pull off the road so that your wheels are off the pavement and away from traffic. This will ensure that your vehicle is not blocking traffic or creating a safety hazard. If you are unable to park with all four wheels off the highway, make sure to park as far away from traffic as possible, and use your emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your presence.
