Your car is stuck by the side of the road far from town, and you are waiting for someone to come and help you tow it to a mechanic.

While you are waiting for the 
Newcastle tow truck  to arrive, it makes sense to take steps to prepare yourself for the trip ahead.

If this is the first time you find yourself in such situation, then Trade and General Towing are here to offer you some advice to help you get your car to the destination as safely as possible.


ARRANGE FOR A TOW TRUCK

This might seem the most basic thing, but you would be surprised how many people expect tow trucks to be close by when they are in trouble.

However, you might have a long wait, and it is always a good idea to call your tow truck as soon as you get into trouble so you can get moving as soon as possible.


REMOVE ANY IMPORTANT ITEMS

If your car is going to be towed to a mechanic, then you will need to take out any important or valuable items while your car is being repaired.

Important items might include your wallet, your drivers licence, and any other important belongings that you should take out before the tow truck arrives.


TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
If you expect to be waiting for the tow truck for some time, then it makes sense to step away from the side of the road, and away from your car.

Not all drivers on the road are safe, so you are putting yourself in danger by standing too near to moving vehicles at any point.


KEEP A CLOSE EYE OUT FOR US
If you are standing some distance from your car in order to be safe and avoid other vehicles, then you need to keep an eye out for our the truck so that they are alerted that they have found the right vehicle.

Pay attention to the road at all times so that you stay as safe as possible during your wait.
