Breaking down at night on an unlit highway — What to Do
Breaking down at night on an unlit highway is riskier than the same breakdown in daylight, mainly because approaching traffic has far less time to see you — visibility becomes the priority above everything else.
Breaking down at night on an unlit highway means visibility matters even more
If you’re breaking down at night on an unlit highway, hazard lights alone may not be enough — a reflective triangle placed further back than you’d use in daylight gives approaching traffic more warning time.
Stay inside the vehicle if you can
Unless there’s a fire or fuel leak risk, staying inside with seat belts on is usually safer than standing outside near a road with no lighting and less predictable traffic behaviour at night.
Call for help rather than waiting for someone to stop
Breaking down at night on an unlit highway is exactly when flagging down a passing vehicle is riskiest for both parties — call Jhatpat directly instead, 24/7 across all corridors.
