- Note your direction (towards Lahore or Islamabad) and the nearest km marker.
- Call the Motorway Police helpline 130 if you're blocking a lane or anyone is hurt.
- On the Salt Range descent between Kallar Kahar and Lilla, shift to a lower gear and let the engine hold your speed. Riding the brakes all the way down causes brake fade, especially in a loaded car.
- Climbing the Salt Range towards Islamabad in summer heats the engine hard. Turn off the AC if the temperature gauge climbs, and stop on the hard shoulder before it reaches the red.
