Question 7368

What must the driver of a vehicle that becomes stranded inside an underpass due to an emergency do?

  1. Stop the vehicle as close as possible to the left edge of the roadway.
  2. Request assistance using the nearest emergency call box, if there is one.
  3. Remain inside the vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Request assistance using the nearest emergency call box, if there is one.

If an emergency leaves you stopped in an underpass, call for help without delay from the nearest SOS call post, if there is one, and follow the instructions you receive through it. In the image, a man is calling from the post, and the blue passenger car is pulled over to the right. If there is no emergency area, leave the vehicle by the right edge, not the left, and then all occupants get out and go to the refuge or exit.
