Answer: B. Make sure your vehicle is visible to drivers approaching from any direction.

Make sure your vehicle is visible to drivers approaching from any direction. The Georgia manual addresses parking away from the normal travel lanes when a vehicle is disabled: you should make every practical effort to get off the highway so that traffic can still get past and drivers coming from either direction can see your car clearly, for 200 feet each way. That advice is built around being seen early by approaching drivers, so keeping the vehicle visible in every direction is the point of parking somewhere unusual.

  3. Leave a note with your name and address on the parked vehicle. ✓

Answer: C. Leave a note with your name and address on the parked vehicle.

You must leave a note with your name and address on the parked vehicle when you cannot find the owner. The Georgia manual says that if you damage a vehicle with no one around, you must try to find the owner or leave your name, address, and the name of the owner of the vehicle you were driving in a conspicuous place. Since you cannot find the owner, leaving a note gives the owner the required information. This rule helps the owner identify who caused the damage and know how to reach that person after finding the note.
