What to do when you run out of petrol
When running out of petrol, prioritise safety on highways according to Motor Happy driving in the emergency lane and using hazards to alert other drivers is super important when faced with such a situation.
Conserve petrol by turning off the air conditioner and driving at 30 to 45km per hour. Park safely in the yellow lane and contact friends for help. For petrol vehicles, ask for five litres of petrol, while diesel cars require specialist care.
If friends or family are unavailable, contact insurance companies or roadside assistance companies. Many insurers offer roadside assistance, and service plans that include fuel delivery. Stay calm, ensure petrol is available, and charge your phone for help. Stay vigilant and alert to roadside assistance if you leave your car, as prevention is key.
