If the engine has died and you fear another vehicle may run into it, you can move a few yards in an emergency by putting it in gear and using the starter motor. Turn on the hazard warning lights. Erect a warning triangle behind the car - 50m away, if possible. Warning triangles are available in-store. If you're on the motorway hard shoulder or in another busy, hazardous place, get everyone out of the car, away from the road and well on to the verge. If there's a crash barrier, keep behind it. Check your exact location, consulting a map if need be. Then, if you belong to a motoring rescue organisation, call them. If you are a woman on your own, have small children or anyone old and frail with you, ask the rescue service to make your call a priority. Keeping thieves at bay Lock your car whenever you're away from it. This is obvious advice, but thousands of vehicles are stolen or vandalised because their owners left them open. Take handbags, briefcases, laptop computers, sunglasses and mobile phones with you. If the car radio has a removable security panel, take that too. If you can't take the items with you, lock everything in the boot where it's out of sight. Park where it's busy. Thieves prefer a deserted spot. At night, park where it's light. Avoid unlit car parks. Once home, don't leave your car keys on a hall table or windowsill next to the front door. Thieves may find it easier to break into your home and steal the keys than trying to outwit your car's alarm and immobiliser. A full range of mechanical security devices and electrical security devices are available at Halfords.
