Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Slow down and move to the farther lane if safe

Quebec’s "safety corridor" law was added to protect first responders, tow operators with amber/red/blue flashing lights, and stranded motorists. You must slow to a safe speed AND move to the lane further from the stopped vehicle if traffic permits.

Why the other answers are wrong

  • A.Maintain speed and stay in your laneHolding your speed is exactly what the law forbids there.
  • C.Stop completely until the lights are offA full stop is not required and would endanger the traffic behind.
  • D.Honk to alert the respondersThe horn protects nobody and can startle the responders.
