If you drive around long enough in Portland, chances are you are going to experience a roadside emergency. Whether it’s an accident, a car breakdown or some other type of emergency, it’s important to know how to handle the situation. Here are some tips on how to do that.

If you have an accident or breakdown, it’s important to get your car to a safe place if possible. That may be off on the shoulder or into a parking lot.
