  3. C
    Step out into the live lane and place a warning triangle 45 metres behind your vehicle.
  4. D
    Ignore the dashboard engine warning light and continue driving slowly in the live lane until the next service area.

Cevap

Remain inside the vehicle with seatbelts fastened, turn on hazard warning lights, and call 999 immediately.
Under UK Highway Code Rule 277, if you break down in a live lane of a motorway and cannot safely reach an emergency area or exit the vehicle to a safe place behind the barrier, you must switch on your hazard warning lights, stay inside the vehicle with your seatbelt on, and call 999 immediately so that motorway operators can close the lane with Red X signs and dispatch recovery services.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the situation and make the vehicle as visible as possible
Hazard warning lights are activated and sidelights are switched on if visibility is poor or it is dark.
Alerts approaching high-speed drivers to an obstruction ahead.
2
Ensure occupant protection inside the vehicle
All occupants keep their seatbelts fastened inside the vehicle rather than stepping into live traffic.
The car body and safety restraints provide protection in the event of an impact, whereas stepping into live lanes is life-threatening.
3
Summon emergency assistance
Dial 999 (or use the SOS feature if equipped) to report the live-lane blockage immediately.
Emergency operators can instantly set Red X overhead signals to close the lane and dispatch traffic officers.
