1. STOP THE VEHICLE<br />

is not dangerous for oncoming traffic<br />

firm. If you have to change<br />
the wheel at night, choose a lit area if<br />
possible.<br />
– Turn the engine off and pull up the<br />
handbrake.<br />
– Engage first or reverse gear.<br />
– Alert other drivers that the vehicle<br />
is stationary in compliance with local<br />
regulations: hazard warning lights,<br />
warning triangle, etc.<br />
Any passengers should get out and<br />
wait as far away as possible from the<br />
danger of traffic.<br />
If the road is sloping or bumpy, place<br />
wedges or other suitable material to<br />
prevent the vehicle from moving, under<br />
the wheels.<br />
