If your vehicle is immobilized inside a tunnel due to traffic needs (a traffic jam), should you leave the vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, in the event of immobilization due to traffic congestion, you must not leave the vehicle. The rule states that the driver and passengers must remain inside the car. The driver should turn off the engine, temporarily switch on the hazard warning lights to warn those behind, and keep the parking lights (sidelights) on. You should only leave the vehicle in emergency situations (such as a fire or serious breakdown) and head to the nearest shelter or exit, but never for a simple traffic jam.
