California DMV Test study Set| questions & Complete Solutions

What do you if your vehicle gets into trouble? - ✔✔Give other drivers plenty of warning that you are pulling over.

Turn on your emergency flashers if you are not moving. If your vehicle does not have emergency flashers, use your turn signals.

If possible, pull off the road away from all traffic.

If you cannot get completely off the road, stop where people can see you and your vehicle from behind.

Do not stop just over a hill or just around a curve. Other drivers may not see your vehicle in time to avoid a collision.

If it is safe to do so, lift the hood to signal an emergency.

Place emergency flares or triangles 200-300 feet behind your vehicle (if you have them). This gives drivers time to change lanes if they need to. Be very careful when using flares. They may cause fires, especially when used near flammable liquids.

Call for emergency roadside assistance, follow the above guidelines, and stay in your vehicle until help arrives.
