On a rural highway at night, your tires suddenly rumble and the steering wheel shakes as you drive over a set of raised strips across your lane. What should you do?
A passes over several raised transverse strips spanning its lane on a dark rural road. The card states that the tires rumble and the steering wheel shakes.
Correct answer: Slow down and look for a warning sign, because a place that needs a decision is ahead.
Why
Rumble strips make noise and shake the steering wheel to wake a drowsy driver or to warn of danger ahead, and a cautionary sign is almost always near them. Watch for that sign and be ready to stop at the intersection or hazard that it shows. If the strips woke you from drowsiness, find a safe place to stop and rest.
