RTE's Sarah McInerney stranded after car breaks down 'red-faced' as rescuer points out two-second fix

RTE Prime Time host Sarah McInerney was left a little red-faced during an incident in her car when an AA rescuer told her about a simple solution to her problem.

The Galway native discovered her car had a dead battery, leaving the busy journalist stranded for two hours on the side of the road waiting for assistance.

Not only was Sarah stranded, but it was freezing as well and she didn't have anything to drink.

Thankfully for Sarah, the AA arrived to assist and that's when the RTE star was left red-faced.

The AA man was only too happy to inform Sarah that her car came with a battery reset button.

In a tweet, Sarah revealed what happened: "Got a flat battery in my car. Spent two hours waiting for help to arrive. Cold, miserable, thirsty. The very nice man from the AA arrived, smirked, and pointed out there's a BUTTON IN MY CAR to jumpstart it."

Beneath that tweet, Sarah posted: "for all you doubters" followed by a picture of the battery reset button.

Following that, some people wondered why the AA could not have told her over the phone that her car has a reset battery button.

She revealed that she rang the dealership where she bought the car and explained the problem and told them the model of car, only for the dealership to tell her to ring the AA.

Sarah tweeted: "I know. Wouldn't mind, but I rang the place I bought the car from, told them the model of my car, described the problem, and they told me to ring the AA!!"
