In what manner must authorized service vehicles perform stopping or parking when providing service?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Drivers of emergency or authorized service vehicles may, under their sole responsibility, be exempt from complying with general rules regarding prohibited stopping and parking places when indispensable for the service. However, this exception has a fundamental safety limit: they must position the vehicle in such a way that they do not cause a new danger to traffic nor constitute an unnecessary obstacle for other road users. Doing so 'regardless of traffic' or 'anywhere' could cause secondary accidents.
