Questions
How long is the M-16 between Bakhshali and Katlang?
About 22 km. Tell us roughly how far you are from either end, or read the nearest km marker.
Which direction should I say I'm travelling?
Say whether you're heading towards Chakdara or towards Karnal Sher Khan Interchange (M-1). On a divided motorway we need the correct carriageway.
Can you fix the car here instead of towing it?
Often, yes: flat batteries, punctures and empty tanks are fixed at the roadside. Otherwise we recover it on a flatbed.
