Frequently asked questions in Vaala
If the car is on a public or private road near Jylhämä or Järvikylä, ordinary towing may be possible. A separate risk assessment is required for the car on the ice of Lake Oterman; 112 is called in case of subsidence or personal danger.
First, locate safely on which route you are on: Highway 22, regional road 800 and regional road 879. Indicate the direction of travel, the nearest signpost and location link, and tell if the vehicle will remain an obstacle to traffic. In case of personal injury or imminent collision, call 112 before towing service.
In the call, mention the location name Maiden or Pelso even before the address. The target Poukamonkangas can serve as an additional direction, but the exact coordinates and the nearest intersection will determine the final entry route. At the same time, tell if the road has been ploughed and if there is any turning space at the destination.
First, tell the destination Oulujärvi and then the last road branch that can be driven; Otermanjärvi helps to distinguish the right direction. Describe the width of the road, the soft spots and the turning space that has arrived. You should not steer the towing equipment to the unofficial ice road, and 112 should be called in case of danger of sinking. The direction of arrival can be specified by the place names Poukamonkangas and Jaalanka.
Connect the place name Jaalanka to the road number 879 and send the location link. Tell the towing company if the direction is Jylhämä or Järvikylä and which side of the road the car is on. This is how long or the branching part of the road can be delineated already during the call.
General questions about towing and roadside assistance
Your insurer may arrange assistance through its own partner network. In some situations, another available towing company may be closer. The HinausSuomi map lets you choose a suitable provider and ask the company directly about availability.
The HinausSuomi map shows towing companies serving the area. You can contact the nearest company, a provider you know or the towing chain you prefer. The choice is yours.
It often will if your policy includes towing or roadside assistance cover for the incident. Coverage always depends on the policy, the cause of the incident and its terms. Check your insurer’s online service or ask the towing company to help verify the cover.
Roadside assistance may help with a flat battery, a flat tyre, locked doors or an empty fuel tank. If the vehicle cannot be repaired safely at the scene, it will be towed to a suitable repair shop.
The vehicle is usually taken to a nearby suitable repair shop, a repair shop chosen by the customer or another agreed destination. If insurance covers the tow, the destination may need to be justified by the nature of the fault. The towing company can help find a suitable repair shop.
