What should you do if your transmission goes out while driving?
How do I stay safe if my transmission goes out while I’m driving? I’m taking my car to the shop tomorrow because I’ve been having trouble with my transmission, but I’m a little worried that it might go out on the way to the shop.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having car troubles! If your transmission goes out while you’re driving, you should do the following:
- Turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers
- Pull over as soon as possible
- If you can, engage the emergency brake to hold your car in place
Transmission repairs can be expensive, so it’s a good idea to cut costs on other car expenses to help you cover the bill. The
