How to Deal with Sudden Heavy Rain Breakdowns in Malaysia
Malaysia's weather is famously unpredictable. A sunny drive can quickly turn into a torrential downpour, reducing visibility and making roads slick. If your car breaks down in these conditions, your priority must shift from fixing the car to ensuring your personal safety.
Pull Over Safely and Slowly: Signal your intention early and move to the emergency lane or shoulder as far to the left as possible. Avoid sudden movements.
Maximize Your Visibility: Turn on your hazard lights immediately. In very low visibility, you can also turn on your headlights.
Stay in Your Vehicle: In heavy rain on a busy highway, your car is the safest place to be. Do not attempt to get out to place a safety triangle unless you are certain it is safe to do so.
Call for Professional Help: Contact MyMechanic immediately. Inform us of your location and that you are in a heavy rain situation. This helps our team prepare for a safe recovery.
