A vehicle loses power on an expressway but can still be steered and slowed. What should the driver try to do?
A movable vehicle in the right through lane beside a wide paved shoulder.
Correct answer: Slow smoothly and move to the shoulder or as far right as is safe.
Why
Avoid sudden movements. If the vehicle remains controllable, slow and move to the shoulder or as far right as you can safely reach. Switch on hazard lights and seek help. Do not cross traffic abruptly or attempt a move that the vehicle cannot safely make.
