• Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency assistance
number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle
posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic
accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle that you
know to be stolen, call a number that is designated for reporting
these types of situations.
