Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Rules and Regulations
- Drive until the nearest parking bay or bus station bay and stop to allow other vehicles to overtake him.
- Turn on the four distress winkers, and continue driving on the right of the road way.
- Swerve his vehicle as far to the right of the roadway as possible, but avoid pulling into the “hard shoulder” because the vehicle’s weight might cause the “shoulder” to collapse.
- Slow down and, if necessary, pull into the “hard shoulder” and even stop, to allow the vehicles behind him to overtake safely.
