Cevap

The correct order of actions is: 1. Switch on your hazard warning lights, 2. Have all occupants leave the vehicle using the left-hand doors, 3. Move everyone behind the safety barrier and wait up the embankment, 4. Walk to the nearest emergency roadside telephone following the marker posts.
Under Highway Code Rule 274, when stopped on a hard shoulder, you must first switch on hazard warning lights to signal your stationary vehicle, evacuate all passengers through the left-hand doors away from traffic, position everyone behind the safety barrier and up the embankment, and then proceed to the nearest emergency roadside phone to call for assistance.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Switch on hazard warning lights immediately upon stopping.
Approaching motorists receive an immediate visual alert that your vehicle is stationary on the hard shoulder.
Immediate warning reduces the risk of collision from trailing high-speed traffic.
2
Direct all occupants to exit through the left-hand passenger doors.
Passengers step safely onto the verge rather than facing live motorway lanes.
Exiting through right-hand doors places occupants in the path of oncoming traffic.
3
Lead all occupants over the metal crash barrier and up the embankment.
Occupants are positioned in the safest designated waiting area away from the carriageway.
Remaining in the vehicle or standing on the hard shoulder carries a severe risk of death or serious injury from secondary collisions.
4
Walk along the verge in the direction shown on the roadside marker posts to the nearest emergency phone.
The breakdown and exact location are reported directly to the regional control centre.
Emergency roadside telephones pinpoint the vehicle's exact location automatically and connect straight to motorway control.
