Assuming your vehicle is immobilized due to a breakdown and you have the V-16 signal, where must you place it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is on the highest possible part of the immobilized vehicle. The V-16 signal is an amber warning light that attaches magnetically to the roof or the highest exterior part (such as a door frame on convertibles) to ensure 360-degree visibility and be seen from at least one kilometer away. It is important to highlight the difference with the old warning triangles: Safety: The V-16 allows you to signal the danger without exiting the vehicle, reducing the risk of being run over. Location: Unlike triangles (which were placed 50 meters away on the road), the V-16 goes on the vehicle itself, not on the roadway. Regulatory note: Since January 1, 2026, the connected V-16 signal is strictly mandatory, permanently replacing the old triangles.
