As they gear up for towing stuck cars, here’s how Mitchell says you can help them help you.

Slow down on the roads and stay off the phone. If you have to leave your car on the side of the road, leave it as far as you safely can off the main travel lane.

“If they have to leave them on the side of the road, make sure they get off the road far enough, out of the main lane of traffic,” Jimmy Mitchell said.
