Car permit · Emergencies
Your windshield wipers suddenly quit while it is raining or snowing. What should you do?
Correct answer: All of these are correct.
Answer options
- ALower the driver's window and lean your head out to see the road ahead
- BReduce your speed
- CBrake and get off the roadway
- DAll of these are correct Correct
Why
When the wipers fail in rain or snow, ease off your speed at once, open the driver's window and look out of it if that is the only way to see, and then brake and leave the road at a safe spot. Wait there with your hazard flashers on until the weather clears or the wipers are fixed.
