What to Do When Your Car Runs Out of Fuel on Malaysian Roads
Running out of fuel while driving is stressful. One moment you’re cruising, the next your car slows down and stops.
In Malaysia — especially somewhere unfamiliar — it can feel even more worrying if you’re in a Singapore-registered car.
Stay Calm and Get Safe
Don’t panic. Turn on your hazard lights so other drivers can see you.
Move your car to the side of the road or a safe spot away from traffic if possible.
On highways, it’s safer to remain inside your vehicle while waiting for help.
