Which action is NOT recommended when assisting a disabled motorist?

Assisting a disabled motorist is about connecting them with trained help and keeping the scene safe. Providing the AAA contact or dispatching AAA information ensures professional assistance and speeds up help arriving. Staying with the motorist to coordinate traffic helps protect them and other drivers while waiting for responders. Recommending a specific private person to assist, however, isn’t advised because you can’t verify that person’s training, qualifications, or availability, and directing a private individual can create safety and liability concerns for everyone involved. The preferred approach is to rely on official services and stay with the motorist to manage the scene until help arrives.
