If you have a breakdown on the motorway, go to the nearest service station and ask for help. By law you are required to carry two red breakdown triangles. The Turkish Tourism and Automobile Club (TTOK) provides roadside assistance and breakdown services as well as travel advice. Check your home breakdown insurance policy to see if it covers the whole of Turkey, or only covers some regions.
