- Use your hazard lights to alert other drivers
- Slow down and try to pull your car to the side of the road
- Stay in your car to avoid pedestrians and other vehicles, as Haiti is known to have jam-packed roads
*If it is safe to exit, put up flares or reflective triangles for oncoming motorists to see
- Call roadside assistance
- Always remember that Haiti has a law requiring on-site repairs for vehicles that have broken down
*If your car needs to be towed, then consider getting a different vehicle or booking a room if it’s past nightfall
- Always inform people where you’re going beforehand
*This is very helpful if you’re experiencing car troubles when driving in Haiti; if your distance from major cities is quite far, informing people, like hotel staff, of your travel plans can aid in the quick location of your vehicle
