Passing target: 80% (20/25)
You drive on a two-lane road with one lane in each direction. A tow truck with flashing amber lights is stopped on the shoulder next to your lane, and oncoming traffic keeps you from moving over. What must you do?
Blue A approaches an amber-lit tow truck on the shoulder of a two-way road. An oncoming silver car occupies the opposing lane.
Correct answer: Slow down to a reasonable and proper speed, drive with caution, and be ready to stop.
Why
The lane change is required only when it is possible and safe, so do not swerve toward oncoming traffic to make room. The duty to slow down still applies, and a violation is a misdemeanor. A person who works at the roadside can step out or drop equipment without warning, and a lower speed gives you time to react.
