On an interstate, your engine starts to lose power. The car still moves, and no one is hurt. What must you do?
A is in the right interstate lane beside a clear right shoulder while its engine loses power.
Correct answer: Turn on the flashers and move the car off the road onto the shoulder
Why
After you stop, report the location of the vehicle to law enforcement as soon as practicable, and arrange to remove it from the shoulder without unnecessary delay. If the car is not moved promptly and it is a traffic hazard, an officer can order it removed at the owner's cost. While you wait for help, stay well away from moving traffic.
