What is inside

  • ✓ Seven clear steps: get to safety, be visible, people first, call for help, no risky repairs, stay safe, and afterwards
  • ✓ A fill-in side for the driver, vehicle, owner or fleet manager, insurer and policy number, insurer helpline, workshop or tow service and next of kin
  • ✓ Emergency numbers for Ghana: 112, police 191, fire 192 and ambulance 193
  • ✓ An emergency kit checklist with eight items
  • ✓ HopeLynx roadside assistance and towing contact numbers

How to use it

  1. Print the page on A4 and cut along the dotted line.
  2. Fill in the details side for each vehicle, then keep both sides in the glovebox or door pocket.
  3. Walk each driver through the steps once, so they know them before they need them.
  4. Check the numbers and details every few months, and after any change of driver or insurer.

Why it matters

People make poor decisions when they are stressed, and a breakdown is stressful. A card with the steps in plain words and the right numbers on hand helps drivers act calmly and keeps everyone safer. It takes minutes to fill in, and it can make a real difference.
