Pull Over Safely
If your car starts losing power or making unusual noises, signal and move to the right shoulder or nearest safe area. Avoid stopping on curves or hills where visibility is poor.
Turn On Hazard Lights
Activate your hazard flashers immediately so other drivers can see your vehicle. If you have reflective triangles or flares, place them behind your vehicle.
Stay in Your Vehicle
In most situations, the safest place is inside your car with your seatbelt fastened. Avoid standing on the roadway, especially on highways and busy streets.

Houston Breakdown Safety Tips
Houston traffic can be intense, and a breakdown on a busy road creates real danger. Here are important safety tips to protect yourself while waiting for your tow truck.
- Stay visible: Keep your hazard lights on at all times. If it is dark outside, turn on your interior dome light so other drivers can spot your vehicle.
- Exit on the passenger side: If you must leave your vehicle, exit from the side farthest from traffic to reduce the risk of being struck.
- Watch for weather: Houston heat can be dangerous. If your AC is not working, crack your windows and drink water. In rainy conditions, stay alert for rising water on roadways.
- Do not attempt major repairs: Changing a tire on a highway shoulder is extremely risky. Let a professional towing service handle it safely.
- Share your location: Send your GPS location to a friend or family member and let them know help is on the way.
Prime Towing LLC operators are trained in safe vehicle recovery procedures. When our truck arrives, our driver will position the tow truck to protect your vehicle from traffic and safely load it for transport.
