New drivers face roadside situations for the first time without experience to fall back on. Education is key for teens and new license holders.
## Teach These Basics Early
– Stay calm and move the vehicle to a safe location if possible
– Turn on hazard lights immediately
– Remain in the vehicle when it is unsafe to exit
– Call a parent or roadside assistance provider
– Share precise location details
## Peace of Mind for Parents
Knowing your teen understands the basics of roadside safety—and has access to professional roadside assistance—reduces anxiety for everyone involved.
