On a road with two lanes in each direction, you get into an argument with another driver over cutting in. No one is hurt and the cars did not touch. The other driver stops in the middle of the lane and shouts at you to get out. What is the correct action?
💡 Hint
Stopping a vehicle on the road to argue or quarrel and thereby obstructing other traffic is prohibited (Article 49(1)5 of the Road Traffic Act). Turning on the hazard lights does not make it acceptable, and remember that responding in kind only increases the danger.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Article 49(1)5 of the Road Traffic Act forbids stopping a vehicle on the road to quarrel or argue in a way that blocks other traffic. Turning on the hazard lights does not make blocking a lane to argue acceptable, and stopping to confront the other driver or boxing in their car only raises the danger. Do not respond; leave safely, and call 112 if the threats continue.
