Your vehicle has broken down at night on a two-way road. How should you try to leave the vehicle?

Explanation: If your vehicle breaks down, try to stop on the left, facing in the same direction as the flow of traffic. This will help other drivers to see you, as your red reflectors will show to the rear. Don't stop on the pavement, as the weight of the vehicle may damage paving stones and underground services.
