If your vehicle breaks down at night, use _______ to avoid an accident.

Explanation

If your vehicle breaks down at night, use extreme caution. Some nighttime accidents occur when a driver doesn't see a stalled car until it's too late to avoid hitting it. Alert other motorists by turning on your emergency flashers. (If your vehicle doesn't have emergency flashers, use your turn signals.) If you have warning devices such as warning triangles or flares, place them up to 100 feet behind your vehicle. (However, if you have a fuel leak or smell fuel fumes, do NOT ignite flares.) Lift the hood of your vehicle as another signal of an emergency.
