Driver’s Duty When Stopping on Highway Because of Accident
A driver whose vehicle is stopped on a roadway because he was involved in [an emergency; an
accident; mechanical breakdown] must turn on the emergency flashing lights of his vehicle, if they
are in working order, and move his vehicle from the roadway to the shoulder as soon as possible.
If a driver fails to perform either or both of these duties, then he is negligent.
