A calm, step-by-step guide to being stuck next to your car with your keys inside.
First: don't panic and don't break the window. A car locksmith can almost always open a modern vehicle without a scratch.
Step 1: Check every door and the boot
It sounds silly. Do it anyway.
Step 2: Move to safety
If you're roadside, stand well away from traffic while you wait.
Step 3: Call a real locksmith, not a tow
A locksmith opens the car. A tow truck moves the car — usually the wrong solution.
Step 4: Have your reg and location ready
This shaves minutes off dispatch.
