- Only on roads outside built-up areas.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Only on roads outside built-up areas.
Outside a built-up area, a vehicle stopped on the roadway usually means a breakdown or an accident, and there may be people outside the car, like the man waiting behind the guardrail in the image. As you approach, you slow down and stop if necessary. In a built-up area, where stopped cars are a normal sight, that specific duty does not apply, although you still adjust your speed to any danger.
