While driving on an expressway, you see crashed vehicles stopped in the lanes ahead. What is the most appropriate way to drive?
💡 Hint
Near an accident scene, secondary accidents often happen when following vehicles notice the situation too late and crash into the vehicle ahead. Think about what signal your actions give to the vehicles behind, and note that the shoulder is not a lane for overtaking.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Near a crash scene, secondary accidents often occur when following drivers notice the situation too late and rear-end someone, so warning them with the hazard lights and slowing down early is important. Braking suddenly to look at the scene invites rear-end collisions, and stopping in a lane and getting out can make you a victim of a secondary accident. The shoulder is for emergency vehicles and the like, not for overtaking.
