Rules of the Road
You have broken down on a motorway and stopped on the hard shoulder. What should you do with your passengers?
- ○Keep them in the vehicle with seat belts fastened
- ○Ask them to stand behind the vehicle to warn oncoming traffic
- ✓Move them away from the vehicle and behind the barrier if possible
- ○Have them push the vehicle to the next exit
Correct answer
Move them away from the vehicle and behind the barrier if possible
Passengers should exit the vehicle via the left-side door and move well away from it, ideally behind a safety barrier, to avoid being struck if the vehicle is hit from behind.
