Question 12

The middle lane shown in the figure is available, and moving into it is practicable, lawful, and safe. What should the approaching driver do?

Schematic of three same-direction freeway lanes and a right shoulder. A warning vehicle is stationary on the right shoulder with amber warning lights; the driver's car is approaching in the rightmost through lane; no vehicle shown immediately beside the driver's car.

Remain in the rightmost lane at the same speed
Move safely into the available middle laneCorrect answer
Stop beside the warning vehicle on the shoulder
Accelerate past before another car reaches the middle lane

Explanation

The stationary vehicle displays warning lights on a freeway shoulder, and a safe lane away is available, so the approaching driver should move out of the adjacent lane. Merely slowing in that lane is the fallback when changing lanes is not practicable or safe, not the preferred action under the stated conditions.
