In the event that the V-2 emergency light (portable beacon) stops working, which lights must the driver use to signal the vehicle's position?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

If the V-2 warning light (used to indicate that a vehicle is an obstacle on the road or moving at a reduced speed) fails, the driver must ensure the vehicle is visible using its own lighting systems. Regulations state that hazard warning lights (all turn signals) must be switched on to warn of danger, along with dipped headlights (low beam), especially between sunset and sunrise or in low visibility conditions, to be seen without blinding others. The other options are incorrect because high beams cause dangerous glare to other road users, and fog lights are restricted exclusively to adverse weather conditions, not for mechanical or signaling failures.
