Practice question

If part of a vehicle becomes defective during a trip and endangers passengers, what should you do?

  1. Drive cautiously to your destination
  2. Alert the passengers but continue driving
  3. Stop and get the defect remedied or the danger removed
  4. Call for help but continue to the nearest service station

Answer: C — Stop and get the defect remedied or the danger removed

If part of the vehicle becomes defective during a trip, the most responsible course of action is to stop and get the defect fixed or the danger removed. Continuing to drive, whether cautiously or not, could put yourself and the passengers at even more risk. Alerting the passengers and calling for help might not address the issue immediately, and it is always safest to address any potential danger as soon as possible.
