Hazards on, wheels turned toward the ditch, belts fastened. Only leave the car if you can get well away from the lane on the side away from traffic.

Wisconsin drivers are supposed to move over or slow down for a tow truck working at the roadside with its lights on. Do not count on all of them doing it.
