1. Stay Calm and Move to Safety

If possible, move your vehicle to the side of the road, away from traffic. Turn on your hazard lights immediately so other drivers can see you.

2. Make Yourself Visible

At night or in low visibility, use a reflective triangle or warning lights if you have them. Stay well clear of fast-moving traffic.

3. Call for Assistance

Once you are safe, call a professional towing service. In Southern Albania, you can reach Karotrec Rigelsi 24/7 at +355 69 27 28 054.

4. Share Your Exact Location

Use WhatsApp location sharing or a map pin to send your exact position. This reduces waiting time and avoids confusion.

5. Wait in a Safe Place

If it’s safe, stay inside the vehicle with doors locked. If the road is dangerous, move to a safe area away from traffic and wait there.
