Sometimes when you are driving or just before going off there are some obvious signs that your vehicle is screaming at you to stop driving or pull over to resolve the issue. Here are some signs that you should pay close attention to and pull over. Most importantly, after pulling over it will be in your interest to call a
car towing service to tow the vehicle safely away to the desired destination that may resolve the issue.
Steam or Smoke
Steam from your vehicle usually means that the cooling system has an issue, more specifically the coolant is not functioning properly, causing your vehicle to overheat. An overheated vehicle puts significant stress on the engine and depending on the stress can be destroyed if a piston welds itself into the cylinder. In this instance, it is best to call a
car towing service to get your car towed away to a mechanic to get the vehicle looked at and fixed.
Smoke indicates fire or something extremely dangerous happening. This is a profoundly serious and dangerous moment, and you should turn off the engine after pulling over in a safe area and move more than 30 meters away from the vehicle. If there is no fire, call a
car towing service immediately to have a mechanic fix the vehicle. If there is a fire, call 000 to get help and contact the car insurance provider.
Brake Warning Lights or Oil Warning Light
A braking system helps you stop behind a car or behind a traffic light line. When the brake warning light is on, your brake system is jeopardized and can become very hazardous for you, your passengers, and any drivers on the road. Do not drive whatsoever. If you can disembark from your vehicle, please call a
car towing service to get your car towed away to get the required brake system repair.
An oil warning light signifies that there are low levels of oil and is another important sign to stop driving immediately and pull over safely. A dried engine without proper lubrication can be dangerous as it will overheat and fail. Please call a
car towing service immediately to bring it to a mechanic to give your vehicle the necessary repairs
Smell
Anything that smells of petrol, burning, or hot rubber can be of concern. Pullover, identify the issue calmly, and call a
car towing service! The odor may be more serious than you think as something very abnormal and potentially dangerous is happening in the vehicle.
