When we get in our vehicle, we assume that we will get to our destination without trouble. You never know when you might end up with a flat tire or experience a car breakdown on the road. Unfortunately, unexpected things can happen and you may find yourself in a car emergency at one point in your life. The most important thing to do is stay calm and think about how best to handle the situation you are in to avoid further issues. 

Here's some advice on what to do when you're in a car emergency:

• Try not to panic. The worst thing you can do in an emergency situation is to panic and not act calmly. Stay calm and breathe, and try to figure out what the next best steps are. 
• Make sure that everyone with you is ok, as well as yourself! If you’ve been in an accident and a passenger or yourself is hurt, call for medical help right away. 
• Be sure to pull over to a safe place. Try to get your vehicle out of traffic’s way and to a safe place on the road. If you can’t move your car, call the police immediately to help make the situation safe. Never get out of your vehicle if you are not in a safe area away from other traffic. 
• Call for help, whatever you may need. If you are in an accident, you may choose to call the police. You can also call for roadside assistance or towing if you have a flat or other vehicle breakdown issue.
• If you are in an accident, be sure to document and take photos of any damage for insurance purposes.
