Cevap

Evacuate passengers through the left-hand doors to the embankment, leaving the dog securely inside the vehicle unless an emergency requires otherwise
Under UK Highway Code Rule 274, when stopped on the hard shoulder, all occupants should leave the vehicle by the left-hand (nearside) doors and wait up on the embankment or behind the safety barrier. Animals should generally be left securely inside the vehicle to prevent them escaping onto the live carriageway, unless an emergency makes it necessary to bring them onto the verge under close control.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the safe passenger evacuation procedure for a motorway hard shoulder.
Passengers must leave the vehicle by the left-hand (nearside) doors and move well away from the carriageway, waiting behind the safety barrier on the embankment.
Exiting away from live traffic protects passengers from passing vehicles and removes them from the danger zone if the car is hit from behind.
2
Apply the Highway Code rule regarding domestic animals during a motorway breakdown.
Animals should normally remain secured inside the stationary vehicle unless an emergency makes it necessary to bring them onto the verge on a lead.
Frightened pets taken out of the vehicle can easily bolt into fast-moving motorway lanes, creating a catastrophic hazard for all road users.
