如果你的车坏了怎么办

A 车辆 breakdown can be dangerous if it happens on a busy road. If this happens to you, t在这里 are several things you can do to stay safe.

离开道路

如果你的 汽车发动机 是拖延还是已经死了，还是你有 漏气的轮胎, your first move should be to get your car to a safe spot if you can. Avoid the temptation to slam on the brakes and instead use your momentum to safely edge to the side of the road. Using emergency blinkers, try to find a spot on the shoulder away from any curves behind you.

如果你的 car dies on the highway and you can't make it to a shoulder, turn on your emergency blinkers and stay in your car. Crossing a high-speed highway is more dangerous than sitting in your car.
