What should you do if your engine stalls while you are driving on a freeway?

  1. Pull off to the side of the road as far as possible

  2. Leave your vehicle on the roadway

  3. Put on your four-way flashers

  4. Open the hood of your vehicle

The correct answer is: Pull off to the side of the road as far as possible

When experiencing an engine stall while driving on a freeway, it is important to follow the correct protocol to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road. Option B of leaving your vehicle on the roadway is incorrect as it can be dangerous and potentially cause a traffic accident. Option C of putting on your four-way flashers may seem like a helpful action, but it is not enough to alert other drivers of your stalled vehicle. Option D of opening the hood of your vehicle is also not recommended as it can be dangerous to do so while on a busy freeway. The best and safest option is to pull off to the side of the road as far as possible to avoid obstructing traffic and to make room for emergency responders if needed.
