Question 1827

If a vehicle breaks down on a high-capacity divided highway (autovía), may its occupants get out?

  1. No, they must wait for the towing service to arrive.
  2. Yes, if they can get out safely on the side away from traffic and go to a safe place off the roadway and the shoulder.
  3. No.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, if they can get out safely on the side away from traffic and go to a safe place off the roadway and the shoulder.

If the car cannot continue, the occupants must get out when there is a safe place off the roadway and the shoulder and they can exit on the side away from traffic. They must not walk on the shoulder, even wearing a vest. If they cannot get out safely, they stay inside with their seat belts fastened.
