Should, as a disabled driver, you find that you have suffered a car breakdown the first thing to do is try and remain calm, no matter how difficult this may be.

It is especially important in this situation to ensure you are carrying a mobile phone also as rescue may be much easier if you can call your car breakdown cover insurers, as they will then send somebody straight out to help you deal with everything. If you are disabled the value of such breakdown cover becomes much higher.

You should also be very organised as a disabled driver as the impact of a car breakdown could be much greater, and so it is a good idea on any longer journeys to always have food and drink with you.

It is also a good idea to think about how, if possible, you can remove yourself from your car to prevent injury from an unsighted car crashing into you. Again, this may not be entirely possible if you are wheelchair bound or disabled but if you can it is a safer option.

Of all the car breakdown tips we can give you one of the very best is to ensure you brief a close friend or relative of exactly which route you plan to take before you go. That way if anything does happen they will know where to look.
