Question 5847

You are driving on a freeway at an abnormally low speed due to a breakdown. Where must you drive?

  1. Always on the shoulder.
  2. In the left lane.
  3. In the right lane, when it does not seriously obstruct traffic.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: In the right lane, when it does not seriously obstruct traffic.

If a breakdown forces you to drive abnormally slowly on a freeway, stay in the right lane as long as you do not seriously disrupt traffic. If you do and your vehicle does not exceed 3,500 kg, move onto the right shoulder if it is usable and wide enough. In either case, you must leave the freeway at the first exit. In the image, the gray passenger car is in the right lane.
