Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
Your vehicle begins to fail and is slowing far below highway speed. What should you do if a safe shoulder is available?
A disabled but still movable car remains in its highway lane with a safe shoulder visible. It has no operating-hazard or shoulder-route answer cue.
Correct answer: Use four-way flashers and move fully off the travelled road.
Why
Use four-way flashers as the disabled vehicle slows or stops. If possible, move all four wheels off the travelled roadway to a safe place and arrange help. Avoid placing yourself in moving traffic while dealing with the breakdown.
