BDifficulty 2/5

Torrential rain prevents you seeing enough to continue safely. You can carefully reach a lawful, safe place off the carriageway. What should you do?

Correct answer

Stop at that safe place and wait for conditions to improve.

Stop there and wait for conditions to improve. Reducing speed is insufficient if visibility remains inadequate. Do not brake abruptly to stop in the carriageway or enter a flooded area. If you cannot safely leave the carriageway, respond to the emergency and seek help where needed, without treating a dangerous manoeuvre as compulsory.
