Your vehicle breaks down on a freeway. You are not able to move the vehicle off the road completely as the road shoulder is too narrow. What is the best thing to do?
Correct answer
- Exit on the right side of your vehicle and proceed to a safe place.
- Stay inside your vehicle with the seat belt on until help arrives.
- Leave the vehicle immediately and wave at drivers to let them know you are blocking the lane.
Explanation
When there is not enough shoulder space or if there is a guardrail or an area to safely stay away from the freeway lanes, you must exit your vehicle and stay away from your vehicle. Use your emergency flashers at your discretion according to weather conditions.
