If a vehicle cannot reach the required minimum speed and there is a risk of being reached by other vehicles, what safety measure must it adopt?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When a vehicle drives at an abnormally reduced speed (below the generic minimum) due to an emergency or breakdown, it becomes a potential obstacle. The regulation states that if there is a danger of being reached or hit by other road users, the driver must turn on the hazard warning lights (all direction indicator lights flashing simultaneously) to warn of their presence, in addition to driving as close as possible to the right edge or on the shoulder if mandatory depending on the road type. Honking is not correct for this continuous situation, and stopping should only be done if the vehicle cannot proceed safely.
