Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You drive on a highway outside town. In which case does North Carolina law allow you to leave your vehicle standing on the paved travel lane?
Correct answer: When the vehicle is disabled so badly that you cannot avoid stopping there
Why
Drivers behind you do not expect a stopped car in a travel lane, and they may not see it in time. If you must stop, move completely off the travel lanes to a place where other drivers can see your car from far away. On an interstate, the handbook also says never to stop in the travel lane.
