Stuck at the Gate: A Singaporean Driver’s Guide to Breakdowns at the Causeway & Tuas Second Link | MyMechanic
The First Few Minutes: Your Quick Action Plan
What you do in those first moments can seriously make a difference, not just for your safety but also for how quickly we can get to you.
Get to the Side: If your car's still got a bit of momentum, try to gently coast it over to the leftmost lane or the emergency shoulder. Every little bit you can get away from the live traffic lanes helps a ton.
Flash Those Hazards: Switch on your hazard lights right away! It's like putting up a big, flashing sign that says, 'Hey, I need help!'
Stay Put: Unless you're absolutely sure it's safe to get out, please stay inside your vehicle. The areas around those checkpoints can be pretty chaotic and not very pedestrian-friendly.
Give Us a Ring: As soon as you're safely stopped, give MyMechanica call. We're super familiar with all the unique quirks and challenges of both border crossings.
