What to do now

Move the car off the road if you can and switch on hazard lights.
Get out on the side away from traffic and stand clear of the vehicle.
If you cannot get out safely, stay belted in with hazards on and call police.
UK Highway Code: place a warning triangle at least 45 metres behind the car, never on a motorway. Follow local road rules elsewhere.
In dust or poor visibility, pull over to the right and avoid stopping under trees or billboards.
Call for help and give your location; in the UAE dial 999.
In heat, seek shade, sip water and watch for dizziness, cramps or confusion.
