Breakdown Near Causeway or Tuas During Peak Traffic? Here’s What to Do | MyMechanic

Stay calm and signal early

• Fight the panic; hazards on at the first hint of trouble to reduce rear‑end risk and cue drivers behind.
• Keep movements predictable; avoid abrupt stops where lanes pinch.

Avoid stepping into busy lanes

• During peak hours gaps close fast—stay inside unless it’s clearly safe to exit.
• If exiting, use the side away from flow; keep doors minimal and brief.

Inform officers quickly

• Traffic police or checkpoint officers are typically nearby; alert them so they can control flow and create space.
• Share a concise line: “Stalled near [lane/booth/marker]. Hazards on. Waiting for assistance.”
