Challenge: Placing the warning triangle when breaking down on the hard shoulder
Many students reason: the higher the speed, the greater the distance must be — so on the motorway somewhere between 50 and 100 metres, further than on a regular road. For this precise situation the book gives only one figure, with no separate distinction by road type. Anyone who knows the book sees through the 'faster road, further triangle' instinct immediately.
