Your child may have undone her safety restraints, or your tires may be wobbling. You may even have become suddenly tired. Whatever the situation, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommends you take a few steps to ensure safety while executing an emergency stop on the highway.<\/p>\n<p>These tidbits of advice may keep you safe:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Enciende los intermitentes y las luces de emergencia<\/strong><br \/>\nCuando tenga que cambiar de carril o detenerse, encender el intermitente es algo natural. El intermitente permite a los conductores que te rodean reaccionar adecuadamente a tu situaci\u00f3n. Sin embargo, en caso de emergencia, puede haber algo m\u00e1s que la simple necesidad de detenerse. Si su veh\u00edculo tiene problemas mec\u00e1nicos, encienda las luces de emergencia para pedir m\u00e1s precauci\u00f3n a los conductores que le rodean. Una vez que se haya detenido, mantenga encendidas las luces de emergencia si tiene intenci\u00f3n de salir del veh\u00edculo o pedir ayuda.<!--more--><\/li>\n<li><strong>Salga del veh\u00edculo por el lado del pasajero<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are many horror stories seen on the news about people on the side of highways getting hit by an oncoming car or truck. People can get hit even when they pull over 1-3 feet away from the traffic lane (as is suggested for an emergency stop). Drivers typically pull over onto the right shoulder of the road, which leaves the passenger side away from oncoming traffic \u2013 so if you must exit your vehicle, do so on the side facing away from the highway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Utiliza los dispositivos de alerta de tu kit de emergencia<\/strong><br \/>\nTodos los coches deber\u00edan tener un kit de emergencia. Si necesitas ayuda o simplemente quieres asegurarte de que la gente sabe que vas a estar trabajando en tu coche, deber\u00edas utilizar algunos dispositivos de emergencia para alertar a la gente de tu presencia. Durante el d\u00eda, un cono de seguridad naranja reflectante y una se\u00f1al colocados detr\u00e1s y cerca del lado del conductor de tu coche alertar\u00e1n a la gente de los problemas y les indicar\u00e1n que cambien de carril y te den un amplio margen. Por la noche, una bengala tambi\u00e9n es \u00fatil como se\u00f1al de emergencia y ayuda.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vuelve a la autopista con seguridad<\/strong><br \/>\nOnce your emergency has passed, you will need to pull back onto the highway. Clean up your emergency signs, make sure everyone is properly buckled in and begin the foray of reentering the highway slip stream. Turn on your turn signal before you begin \u2013 that will give everyone time to react to you. If there is enough room begin moving into the lane and increase your speed before merging onto the highway. Keep a look out for people who are distracted so you can properly react.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These tips for emergency highway stops in Oregon are great ways to decrease the chances of an accident or car crash.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Portland car accident attorneys, we know that it happens to everyone at one point or another: you have to pull over on the highway because of an emergency.
