A sudden puncture forces you to pull your car onto the hard shoulder of a standard motorway. Arrange the following procedural steps in the correct chronological sequence to ensure the safety of yourself and your passengers according to the Highway Code.
- 1Switch on your hazard warning lights to warn other drivers of your stationary vehicle.
- 2Ensure all occupants exit the vehicle through the left-hand passenger doors.
- 3Move everyone behind the safety barrier and up the embankment, keeping well clear of the hard shoulder.
- 4Walk along the verge to the nearest emergency roadside telephone, following the direction arrows on the marker posts.
Cevap
The correct sequence is: first, switch on your hazard warning lights; second, ensure all occupants exit the vehicle through the left-hand passenger doors; third, move everyone behind the safety barrier and up the embankment; and fourth, walk along the verge to the nearest emergency roadside telephone following the marker post arrows.
According to Highway Code Rule 275, the priority when stopping on a motorway hard shoulder is immediate visual warning (hazard warning lights), followed by safe passenger evacuation through the nearside (left-hand) doors, moving everyone behind the safety barrier and up the embankment, and finally locating and using the emergency roadside telephone to report the breakdown.
