Passing target: 80% (32/40)
Traffic on a divided highway slows to a crawl. The paved breakdown lane on the right is empty, and your exit is half a mile ahead. What is the rule for the breakdown lane?
A follows B and C in crawling highway traffic. A solid white edge line separates the empty paved breakdown lane on the right; the card states that A’s exit is half a mile ahead.
Correct answer: You may drive on it in an emergency, such as a breakdown
Why
Drivers who use the shoulder to get around a traffic jam can hit a disabled car, a person who changes a tire, or an emergency vehicle that uses the shoulder to reach a crash. They also surprise drivers when they cut back into the lane. Stay in your lane, and keep the shoulder clear for emergencies.
