Most motorists break down due to one of five common causes:

All of these difficulties are preventable or avoidable with common sense and a little effort:

Periodic mechanical checkups, especially when unusual sounds or performance signal trouble
Regularly inspect your tires to spot damage, unusual wear or under-inflation that can lead to tire failure
Seasonal checks and preventive maintenance of the cooling system, a frequent factor in roadside breakdowns
Watch your gas gauge and always keep the tank at least half full. This also prevents condensation in the tank, which can freeze in the gas line and stall the engine.
Consider getting a cellular phone.

If you do find yourself on the roadside, follow these tips:

Try to move the car out of traffic to a safe location
Turn on the emergency flashers
Stay inside your car with the doors locked until help arrives
Ask anyone who stops to offer aid to call for roadside assistance (or call yourself from your cellphone)
