Step-by-Step: What to Do When Your Car Breaks Down
- Do not stop suddenly in a traffic lane — indicate and slow gradually
- Move to the hard shoulder — in Qatar you drive on the right
- Hazard lights on immediately after stopping
- Car in Park, handbrake on
- If safe, place a warning triangle 30+ metres behind the car
- Stay inside on a highway — exit only when traffic allows, then stand behind the barrier
