What should you anticipate when driving out the exit slip road?
A broken-down vehicle
People on the carriageway
A fallen load
Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation
All three answers (1 broken-down vehicle, 2 people on the carriageway, 3 fallen load) are correct, because an exit slip road is a typical “hazard zone” on motorways.
On exit slip roads vehicles slow down strongly, move to the right, and sometimes stop (wrongly or due to a defect). That’s why you must expect a broken-down vehicle, especially near the beginning of the exit or on the shoulder where there is little space.
If a vehicle breaks down or has a problem with its load, the driver or passengers may be on the carriageway or close to it (placing a warning triangle, looking for help, collecting items). Even if pedestrians are generally forbidden on motorways, emergencies create exactly this risk, so you must anticipate people.
Loads can fall because of braking, steering into the exit, or because the load wasn’t secured properly. The exit curve and speed change make this more likely, so debris or parts of a load may be lying on the lane or shoulder.
Rule of thumb for similar questions: where traffic slows, merges, or exits, always expect unexpected obstacles and people, increase your following distance, and be ready to brake while keeping an eye on the traffic behind you.
