On a hot summer day, your car breaks down on a desert highway. You see no call box and no buildings nearby. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stay with your vehicle and wait for help, and drink the water that you carry with you
Why
Before a desert trip, carry enough water for everyone in the vehicle and extra water for the radiator. Carry enough fuel, stay on freeways and main roads, and do not take side roads unless you know where they go. If you are not used to high temperatures, avoid desert trips in summer.
