There may be times when you will need to stop by the side of the road for a short time to check something outside your vehicle or to look for directions on a map. If you want to do so, you must:
1) Check your mirrors and blind spots before slowing down to see when the way is clear.
2) Turn on your signal before slowing down unless there are vehicles waiting to enter the road from side roads.
3) Stop as close as possible to the curb.
