Cevap
The correct chronological sequence is: first, switch on the vehicle's hazard warning lights; second, put on high-visibility reflective clothing; third, evacuate all passengers through the nearside doors to the verge; fourth, place a warning triangle at least 45 metres behind the vehicle; and finally, contact a breakdown recovery service from a safe location.
According to UK Highway Code Rule 274, when a vehicle stops due to a breakdown on a standard road, the driver should immediately activate hazard warning lights to alert approaching road users. Before stepping out, the driver should put on high-visibility clothing. All occupants should then exit through the nearside (left-hand) doors to keep clear of live traffic and wait in a safe location on the verge. Once occupants are safe, the driver can walk along the verge to place an advance warning triangle at least 45 metres (147 feet) behind the vehicle on the same side of the road. Finally, the driver should contact breakdown recovery services from their safe position away from the carriageway.
