Your car loses power on a rural highway at dusk, and you coast onto the shoulder. You turn on your emergency flashers. You also carry emergency flares. Where should you place them?
At dusk, A is stopped on the right shoulder of a rural two-lane highway with its emergency flashers on. Enlarged details identify the car and an available flare; no flare location is marked in the question.
Correct answer: About 200 to 300 feet behind the car, so that drivers have time to change lanes.
Why
Many crashes with broken-down cars happen because other drivers see them too late to stop. First get the car off the road and away from traffic if you can, and turn on the emergency flashers. If you have a phone, use it to tell the authorities that your car has broken down.
