Question 4188

The driver of a vehicle stopped inside a tunnel due to traffic conditions must...

  1. turn off the engine and keep all the lights on.
  2. stop as far away as possible from the vehicle ahead.
  3. stop as close as possible to the vehicle ahead.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: stop as far away as possible from the vehicle ahead.

If traffic forces you to stop inside a tunnel, stop as far as possible from the vehicle ahead. That gap gives you room to move aside if something happens farther ahead. Keep the position lights on; you do not need to turn on all the lights. If the wait lasts more than two minutes, turn off the engine.
