Your vehicle breaks down on a level crossing. What is the correct order of actions?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Get everyone out and clear of the crossing, then phone the signal operator
- Step 1: A train can arrive within seconds. Step 2. The Highway Code says to get out, then use the railway phone to tell the signal operator. Answer: Get everyone out and clear of the crossing, then phone the signal operator. Why not the others: Phoning recovery first wastes time, restarting risks everyone, and waiting in the car is unsafe.
