Your car starts to lose power on a two-lane rural highway in daylight. A wide shoulder is just ahead on a straight, level stretch. What should you do?
A is losing engine power on a straight, level two-lane highway in daylight. A wide paved shoulder lies beyond the right edge line.
Correct answer: Pull fully onto the shoulder where drivers can see you, and turn on the flashers.
Why
Crashes often happen when a driver sees a stalled vehicle too late to stop. Stop where others have a clear view, not just over a hill or around a curve, and set flares behind the vehicle if you have them. Outside a business or residence district, New Mexico law requires a stopped vehicle to be clearly visible from 200 feet in each direction.
