Your vehicle loses power on a highway but can coast safely. What should you do?
Blue car A is still in the right travel lane of a divided highway after a breakdown. A remains controllable enough to move safely. A wide paved shoulder is available on its right. The question image does not highlight a destination.
Correct answer: Signal, pull off the lanes, and use hazard lights
Why
Moving to a safe roadside position reduces exposure to high-speed traffic and makes the disabled vehicle more visible.
