What is the first stage in getting back on the road from the “hard shoulder”?
- Correct answer: Signaling with the indicator.
- Getting closer from the hard shoulder to the road's edge.
- Accelerating the vehicle up to the speed of the vehicles on the road.
- Turning the wheel in order to get on the road in a 45 degree angle.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Signaling with the indicator.
Before you start to move off the hard shoulder, you must let the drivers on the road know that you intend to join the traffic. So the first step is signaling with the indicator. Moving or accelerating without a signal surprises other road users and endangers them.
