Passing target: 70% (14/20)
You are driving at 40 mph when your hood suddenly flies up and blocks your view through the windshield. What should you do?
A’s hood has flown up while traveling at 40 mph and blocks the windshield. A larger detail shows the same raised hood; the car is in its lane beside a clear right shoulder.
Correct answer: Open your side window to see out, turn on your hazard lights, and carefully pull off the road.
Why
The same steps apply when something else blocks the windshield, such as wipers that stop working in a storm. Do not panic; you usually get a brief moment to decide what to do. Once you are safely parked, deal with the problem before you drive on.
