During heavy rain at night, your car experiences engine failure on a motorway and you safely coast onto the hard shoulder, parking as far left as possible with wheels turned left. In what chronological sequence should you carry out the remaining safety and emergency actions?
- 1Switch on your hazard warning lights and keep your sidelights turned on.
- 2Have all occupants evacuate the vehicle using only the left-hand passenger doors.
- 3Move everyone behind the safety barrier and walk well up the embankment.
- 4Walk along the verge facing oncoming traffic to reach the nearest roadside emergency telephone.
Cevap
First, switch on hazard warning lights and sidelights; second, evacuate all occupants through the left-hand doors; third, move everyone behind the safety barrier and up the embankment; fourth, walk along the verge facing oncoming traffic to the nearest emergency roadside telephone.
Under Highway Code Rule 274, when stopping on a hard shoulder in an emergency, you must immediately make your vehicle visible using hazard warning lights and sidelights (especially in poor light or darkness). All occupants must then exit via the left-side doors to avoid traffic, immediately retreat behind the safety barrier and up the embankment, and finally use the roadside emergency telephone by walking on the verge while facing oncoming traffic.
