If you are forced to stop your vehicle on the roadway or shoulder to retrieve fallen cargo, which lights must you keep on?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

This situation is considered an emergency stop. As you constitute an obstacle on the road, you must signal your presence to prevent accidents. Regulations require the use of hazard warning lights to warn of the danger. Additionally, position lights (sidelights) must be used to mark the vehicle's location and width, ensuring it is visible to other road users, especially if lighting conditions are not optimal. The option 'Only hazard lights' is incomplete, and 'None' is dangerous and illegal.
