What should you do if your vehicle breaks down on the highway?

Turn on your hazard lights and stay inside the vehicle.
Attempt to repair the vehicle on your own.
Stand in front of your vehicle to warn other drivers.
Safely move your vehicle to the shoulder or emergency lane.

The correct answer is: Safely move your vehicle to the shoulder or emergency lane.

If your vehicle breaks down on the highway, it is important to safely move your vehicle to the shoulder or emergency lane. This option is correct because it moves your vehicle out of the way of other oncoming traffic, reducing the risk of accidents. Turning on your hazard lights and staying inside the vehicle (Option A) can also be a good option, but if possible, it is best to move the vehicle to a safer area. Attempting to repair the vehicle on your own (Option B) can be dangerous and should only be done if you have the proper knowledge and tools. Standing in front of your vehicle to warn other drivers (Option C) is extremely dangerous and should never be attempted.
