Is it permitted to use the V-16 luminous signal to warn that a car has been immobilized due to a breakdown on the road?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Yes. The V-16 signal is an amber warning light, visible from 1 km away, designed to warn of hazards on the road. Its use has been permitted and highly recommended since July 1, 2021, as an alternative to warning triangles, as it allows the vehicle to be signaled without exiting it, reducing the risk of being run over. Although it currently coexists with triangles, as of January 1, 2026, it will be the only permitted device (in its connected version). The option 'Only with low visibility' is incorrect, as its function is to signal immobilization in any environmental condition.
