Wrong Turn

You are driving by yourself on a dark and unfamiliar road because you think you made a wrong turn several miles back. You are running out of gas and your cell phone battery is low. All you have is a small flashlight, bottle of water, road map, and a toothbrush. What do you do? Think very carefully about your surroundings and your available options.

i would start to screem ;) joking :) Well i cant say what i would do if i were in this situation. By looking on bottle of water and toothbrush i would probably wash my teeth :) Well and totally seriously i would just close my car and switch off the engine , grab the flashlight and try to sleep a bit. And in the morning i would just go out and try to find help :) i'm sorry that my response is not quite serious but i cant think of anything useful to say :)

That's ok. But you made a good decision. Staying in the car until morning is probably the best thing for a female to do after all else has failed.

I know, that would be the first thing I would do. In fact, I would pray more than anything else!!!

under this situation i would just call 911 and will try to give information as much as possible before my cell phone turns off due to low battery. and then keep my car on a roadside and wait within the car for next help. If i could make a call at least to 911 from my cell (no need a full call), they will be able locate me from the last signal they received. lol...

There are not a lot of choices there - if you are running out of gas, you will definitely have to stop. Then I would rather sit in the car and wait for other cars and ask them for assistance.

But what if no one stops or if the person that does stop looks too strange?
