Stay safe while you wait

Membership with NRMA Motoring & Services means HELP is just a phone call away if you breakdown. But there are precautions you should take - during the day or night, regardless of your age - to help you stay safe until the NRMA patrol arrives.

If your car breaks down in traffic:

• Get your car as far from the traffic as possible or into a breakdown lane/curb lane if on a highway/freeway 
• Don't push the car if you're alone - it may become uncontrollable. Put on your hazard and parking lights to increase your car's visibility. 
• Get out of the car - wait away from it well off the road and behind guard rails (if provided). 
• If in heavy traffic or a dark area, be careful moving around outside the car 
• Wait under some shade if it's hot 
• Make yourself visible in the dark or wait in a well-lit area 
• Use your mobile phone/freeway emergency phone to call NRMA

 

If your car breaks down in an isolated area at night:

• Put hazard and parking lights on to increase your car's visibility. Lock all doors. 
• Keep your mobile phone handy and switched on. Stay in your car until you're sure the NRMA Patrol has arrived. 
• If approached by an unknown person, stay in your vehicle with the doors locked. Wind your window down slightly, but not far enough for them to reach in. 
• If you're concerned or frightened by their presence, activate your horm while switching your headlights on and off. Call the police on 000.
