Explanation
When you need to make an emergency stop or if your vehicle is experiencing trouble, get your vehicle off the road and away from traffic if possible. Once you have pulled over to the shoulder, it is recommended to turn on your emergency flashers. This helps to indicate to other drivers that your vehicle is experiencing trouble or is stopped in an emergency situation.
