DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When a vehicle cannot reach the required minimum speed and there is a danger of a rear-end collision, it must use, while driving, the direction indicator lights with the emergency signal (General Traffic Regulations, Article 49(3)). That the cause is justified allows driving below the minimum (Article 49(2)), but it does not exempt the driver from warning the vehicles coming behind. Stopping immediately is not what the rule says; moreover, on motorways and dual carriageways it is prohibited to stop outside the designated areas (Article 94(1)(g)). If the driver is forced by emergency reasons to drive at an abnormally low speed on a motorway or dual carriageway, the driver must leave it by the first exit (Article 38(2)).
