Motorway DrivingDifficulty: 1/5

Your car suddenly loses power on a busy dual carriageway. What should be your first priority?

Explanation

The Highway Code Rule 274 states that if your vehicle breaks down, you should think first of all other road users. Your first priority is to avoid causing danger or obstruction, for example by signalling, moving left if you can, stopping in a safe place off the carriageway, and switching on hazard warning lights. Standing in front of the vehicle or remaining in a live lane is unsafe and not in line with the Code.
