CDL · Defensive driving
If you have to travel at a very low speed, what should you do?
Correct answer: Turn on your four-way flashers.
Answer options
- AMove over to the left lane
- BTurn on your four-way flashers Correct
- CSwitch on your high-beam headlights
Why
Drivers coming up behind a slow vehicle often close the gap faster than they expect, so warn them with your four-way flashers wherever local law allows. Slow traffic belongs in the right lane, and high beams would only glare at oncoming drivers.
