Your disabled vehicle is fully on the interstate’s right shoulder, away from traffic, with no fire or other immediate threat inside. While arranging reliable help, where should you wait?
Correct answer: Inside the locked vehicle while waiting for reliable help.
Why
Use the emergency flashers, stay inside, lock the doors, and wait for reliable help rather than walking or standing beside the vehicle. In the stated safe-shoulder situation, the vehicle provides more protection than standing beside high-speed traffic. The advice changes if remaining inside creates an immediate threat such as fire.
