BDifficulty 1/5

Are all rules for dealing with a breakdown on a motorway identical to those on every other road?

Correct answer

No; shared principles and road-specific conditions apply.

No. Protection and warning principles are shared, but specific conditions apply, including the ban on walking along motorways and dual carriageways. If safely able to continue and requiring assistance, leave the lanes and head towards the first available exit using the right shoulder. If immobilised, seek a safe place off the traffic platform without walking along lanes or shoulders; if unable to leave an enclosed vehicle safely, remain inside with the seat belt fastened.
