Sample question from test 1
emergencies
On a South Dakota multilane highway, you approach a stopped vehicle with amber warning lights. What must you do if safe?
- Move into the lane farthest from the stopped vehicle at least 300 feet before it
- Stop beside the vehicle and wait for directions
- Stay in your lane and maintain speed
- Move over only after passing the vehicle
Answer: Move into the lane farthest from the stopped vehicle at least 300 feet before it. For stopped vehicles using amber, yellow, or blue warning lights on multilane South Dakota interstates or highways, the driver must merge away at least 300 feet before reaching the vehicle when that movement can be made safely. Stopping beside it would create a new hazard and is not the move-over instruction. The cue is lane availability: if two or more lanes travel your direction, create a full-lane buffer well before the stopped vehicle.
