Question 4845

A driver needs to make an urgent call on a cell phone. What must they do?

  1. Look for a safe place to stop the vehicle to make the call.
  2. Stop the vehicle anywhere to make the call.
  3. Slow down to be able to talk without danger.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Look for a safe place to stop the vehicle to make the call.

For an urgent call, find a safe place where stopping is allowed, stop the vehicle, and make the call. Continue when you are done. Stopping just anywhere can create a hazard, and slowing down does not allow you to hold your cell phone because you are still driving. In the image, the driver is making the call with the car parked next to a parking sign.
