Question 4224

A driver stopped inside an underpass because of traffic conditions is required to...

  1. get out of the vehicle and go to the nearest refuge.
  2. turn off all electrical systems.
  3. turn on the hazard lights, keeping the position lights on.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: turn on the hazard lights, keeping the position lights on.

If traffic leaves you stopped inside an underpass, briefly turn on the hazard lights to warn drivers approaching from behind, and keep the position lights on. You and your passengers stay inside the vehicle, because getting out and going to a refuge is for an emergency or a fire. Turning off the entire electrical system would leave you without position lights.
