Had that awful moment today in a parking lot in JLT. Finished work, got in the car, and absolutely nothing happened when I turned the key. Just dead silence. It was so hot and I was just standing there not knowing what to do. I've always relied on roadside assistance but didn't want to wait an hour in that heat. I quickly searched online for some emergency car starting tips and found a guide that walked me through the whole jump starting process. A security guard nearby had cables and helped me out. I followed the steps carefully, connecting the cables in the right order, and the car started right up. If you drive in this weather, it's really worth knowing how to do this yourself.
