Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
Outside any town, you must stop your car for a few minutes because a passenger feels sick. The highway has no shoulder, and there is no place to pull off. Where should you stop?
Correct answer: On a straight, level part where drivers can see your car from 200 feet each way and can get past you.
Why
On an open highway, traffic moves fast, and drivers need time to see a stopped car and go around it. Always pull completely off the road when you can; stop on the pavement only when there is no other choice. Get moving again as soon as you can, because a car stopped on a highway is always at risk.
