Question 5329

A vehicle is obstructing traffic due to a breakdown. What must its driver do?

  1. Leave it on the median, because it is the safest place.
  2. Move it off the roadway, complying with the parking rules whenever possible.
  3. Tow it with any other vehicle to a safe place.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Move it off the roadway, complying with the parking rules whenever possible.

If a breakdown leaves your vehicle obstructing the roadway, you must mark it and remove it as soon as possible. Whenever possible, move it off the roadway and leave it in compliance with parking rules. Towing it with just any vehicle is not allowed, and the median is used only as an exception.
