It is generally advisable to stay inside your car during a breakdown, especially if you’re on a busy road or highway. Staying in the car offers protection from passing traffic, bad weather, and other potential hazards. Make sure your seatbelt is on, and turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers. If you’re on a major road, try to pull over as far as possible to the shoulder or off the road to avoid accidents. However, if you’re in a safe location, such as a low-traffic area or off a major roadway, and you need to assess the situation or call for help, exiting the car may be appropriate. Always assess your surroundings before making a decision, and if you feel unsafe, it’s better to call roadside assistance or emergency services rather than attempting to resolve the situation alone.
