Passing target: 80% (32/40)
On a two-lane highway, you approach a car that is stopped on the shoulder with its hazard warning lights flashing. No police or rescue vehicle is there. Oncoming traffic is heavy. What does New Hampshire law require?
A approaches car B, stopped on the right shoulder with hazard lights flashing as stated in the card. Three oncoming cars occupy the opposite lane; no emergency vehicle is present.
Correct answer: Slow down, and give it a wide berth if you can do so without danger to oncoming traffic
Why
People beside a disabled car can be struck by passing traffic, so New Hampshire's move-over law, known as Sherrill's Law, protects them as well as police and rescue crews. Slow down early, move away from the scene when it is safe, obey anyone who directs traffic, and leave any blocked lane as soon as you can.
