Car permit · Emergencies
In the middle of a rainstorm or snowfall, your wipers stop moving. Which of these actions are appropriate?
Correct answer: All of these are correct.
Answer options
- AReduce your speed right away
- BBrake and steer off the road to a safe spot
- CLower the driver's window and lean your head out to see the road ahead
- DAll of these are correct Correct
Why
When wipers quit during rain or snow, your view is nearly gone. Slow down, and if looking out the open driver's window is your only means of seeing ahead, do so; brake and leave the road at the first safe chance. Once stopped, put on your hazard flashers and wait until the weather clears or the wipers are repaired.
