During an emergency parking situation, where should you position your vehicle?

a. On the road in the middle of traffic
b. As close to the center line as possible
c. Along the shoulder of the road away from traffic
d. Double-parked for better visibility

The correct answer is: c. Along the shoulder of the road away from traffic

Positioning your vehicle along the shoulder of the road, away from traffic, is the safest choice during an emergency parking situation. This location minimizes the risk of being hit by passing vehicles, allowing you to exit your vehicle safely and preventing obstruction of the roadway for other drivers. It is important to maximize safety for both yourself and surrounding motorists while dealing with unexpected situations on the road. In contrast, parking in the middle of traffic or double-parked increases the likelihood of accidents and can obstruct the flow of traffic, posing a danger to everyone involved. Additionally, being as close to the center line as possible could lead to a similar risk, as it doesn’t provide sufficient distance from oncoming traffic.
