Flashers, then triangles, then the phone. The warning devices federal rules require within ten minutes, why a divided highway like the 91 changes the placement, and why air brakes and cargo make a commercial recovery a different job.
A disabled motorhome is not a bigger car job, it is a different truck. Why loaded weight beats brochure weight on the phone, the roadside fixes that avoid a tow, and how tow-away, flatbed and drive-away actually differ.
Strip the loose gear, kill the alarm, and tell them what you ride. What the federal securement rules require of the straps and chocks holding your bike, and how sport bikes, cruisers, choppers, scooters and trikes each get rigged differently.
If every wheel is a driven wheel, every wheel belongs off the road. How to check what your car actually drives, why electric and lowered vehicles need the same deck, and the one detail to lead with when you call.
When a tow is the right call and when roadside help will do, how to vet a local company before you agree to service, what tows actually cost, and how to stay safe on a Corona shoulder until the truck arrives.
Stop-and-go traffic on the 91 is exactly when a marginal cooling system quits. Where to get clear of the lanes, what Freeway Service Patrol will and will not do for you, and the point where the car has to be towed instead of driven.
