What to do if you are stranded on the roadside

Auto safety is a top priority for the team at NCIB Group Inc. If you are living in the Chicago, IL area, you know just how important road safety can be. Here are a few tips to help keep you safe when you are out on the road!

Roadside safety

The first thing to do if you find yourself stranded on the roadside is to immediately get to safety. Once you are out of harm’s way, you can telephone for medical assistance, towing services, or both. If you or anyone involved in an accident is severely injured, call 911 right away.

Once you are safe and have notified the necessary parties, be sure to double-check that you are in a safe location. It is advisable to always have an emergency kit in your vehicle, especially during the winter months. Make sure that you are warm enough if it is cold outside, or that you have your windows down if it is warm.

Roadside assistance services will come in handy if you ever find yourself stuck on the roadside, whether due to an accident or a breakdown. Fortunately, many comprehensive auto policies available in our area do offer roadside assistance features. Having this service can help turn a fiasco into an annoyance and help to keep you safe!
