Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
Your car is losing power on a two-lane rural road with no shoulder, and you cannot get it off the road. Where should you try to let it stop?
Correct answer: Where drivers behind can see it from a long way off, such as a straight, open stretch
Why
A stalled car causes crashes when drivers see it too late to stop. If you cannot reach a shoulder, use the car's last momentum to choose a spot with a long, clear view from behind, as far from traffic as you can. Then switch on the emergency flashers and set flares behind the car to warn drivers to change lanes.
