What to do before your tow truck arrives in Jeddah
Safety triangles, hazard lights, and how to share an accurate pin on coastal highways.
Move to the safest possible lane or shoulder, then activate hazard lights immediately. If you are on high-speed roads such as King Abdullah Road or Obhur corridors, increase following distance warnings for cars behind you.
Share your live location in WhatsApp with cross streets or exit numbers. Mention vehicle height, drive type, and whether wheels steer freely — this determines flatbed vs. wheel-lift.
Stay inside the vehicle only if the location is unsafe to exit; otherwise stand behind guardrails. Keep registration and insurance handy for faster handoff.
