How would you conduct yourself when approaching a place, as described in the picture?
- Hoot to those standing by the vehicle, and make it clear that you intend on continuing driving without interruption.
- Slow down and pull into the right “hard shoulder” until the opposite lane is cleared.
- Stop at the right side of the road and wait for the rescue forces to arrive.
- Correct answer: Slow down and stop if necessary, and give right of way to the traffic coming from the opposite direction.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and stop if necessary, and give right of way to the traffic coming from the opposite direction.
A vehicle stopped in a lane, debris on the road and people standing next to it require you to slow down in advance, to the point of being able to stop, because pedestrians may move suddenly. To pass the obstacle you must move into the opposite lane, so you must give right of way to the traffic coming from the opposite direction. Honking does not reduce the danger from the pedestrians and does not replace slowing down.
