If your truck is left immobilized on the shoulder of an interurban road because of a breakdown in broad daylight, how must you signal this situation?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Any immobilization of a vehicle on the roadway or the shoulder of an interurban road is an obstacle and a serious risk to road safety, regardless of whether there is daytime visibility. For this reason, the traffic regulations require the presence of the immobilized vehicle to be warned of by using the hazard signal (the four indicators flashing in unison) and by placing the regulatory hazard warning device, which is the approved V-16 warning light on the top of the truck, to provide 360-degree visibility without the driver having to walk on the road. Switching on only the hazard lights is insufficient, because the V-16 warning light is missing; and not signaling the breakdown because it is daytime and on the shoulder is a mistake, as it ignores the obligation to warn of the danger.
