Your car breaks down on a motorway. What is the best action?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Stop on the hard shoulder, hazards flashing
- Step 1: The hard shoulder is the safe place. Step 2. Passengers should wait away from the traffic, behind any barrier. Answer: Stop on the hard shoulder, hazards flashing. Why not the others: Stay in the car in the traffic lane and wait: you are in the path of fast traffic. Walk along the carriageway to the next exit: pedestrians on a motorway are in great danger. Cross to the central reservation to wait there: crossing lanes of fast traffic is deadly.
