If you need to pull over to the side of the road, the appropriate actions to take are:

  • Check your rear zones and use your turn signal before pulling over.

This ensures that you are safely merging into the shoulder and signaling your intentions to other drivers.

The other options are not recommended:

  • Waving down the nearest vehicle for assistance can be dangerous and may not be the best way to get help.
  • Tying a white cloth to the antenna or door handle can signal for help, but it is often safer to stay in your vehicle and call for assistance.
  • Standing to the front of your vehicle can put you at risk from oncoming traffic and is generally discouraged. It's safer to remain inside your vehicle if possible.

Therefore, the correct choice is:

  • Check your rear zones and use your turn signal before pulling over.
