999 for Roadside Assistance on DNT
Manage episode 343349149 series 3289202
999 type it in your phone and if you hit enter, what would happen? Don’t do it right this second, but do you know what would happen? Well, if you are broke down on the side of the road on any one of the toll roads in town on a Dallas North Tollway, then you hit pound nine, nine, nine, and they will come and get your butt out of that sticky situation to keep traffic moving.
Now, they’re not going to like totally fix the problem, but they’re going to help you and get you off the road and get you into a parking lot and make sure that you’re safe. And then you can make an informed decision on what to do because there’s a couple of seconds when your car has a problem, when you’re on the side of the road and you’ve got to say, Hey, what do I do now?
Well, now you know exactly what to do.
Nine, nine, nine. From your phone hit enter and you should be good. They will come really quickly and the guy be like, Wow, no one ever calls this number. And then for free, they’ll take care of your situation. Now, the reason I bring this up is because the other day I was driving back from Destin and I was like, holy cow, there’s a ton of cars on the side of the road. And I didn’t realize why.
I was like, Man, that’s a lot of cars. I just been seeing so many cars. And then I remember that the heat, it’s super hot right now and the heat is a problem. So let’s go ahead and share the screen and show what’s going on here. So that’s the exact thing. You may recognize this little sign or poster or advertisement that they have. You probably seen it a couple of different places and not paid any attention to it.
But now that we bring awareness to it, maybe it does help you out at some point in the future. But the reason that we have all the issues there is because it’s so hot that you have battery problems and then you know, we start to run and stuff like that. So the extreme heat and the extreme cold do have problems for batteries. Well, imagine if your whole car only ran on batteries. Hmm.
I don’t know. Kind of weird. So is there a potential issue for cars that run only on batteries in extreme heat or extreme cold? And does that present a problem? I don’t know if you went out and made an investment in a battery powered car.
We’ll find out in several years how that all works out. You may want to leave it inside the garage. I’m sure there’s something to that as opposed to leaving it outside. And if you drove it to work every single day and left it outside and put it in a charger because you got free charging, but then actually the heat of the summer drained your batteries or warm out faster.
Does that even make sense? I don’t know. Those are all different things that I’m just reporting to you. That’s all I got.
