If your vehicle becomes immobilized on a level crossing due to an emergency or breakdown, what is the priority measure you must take?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In the event of accidental immobilization on a level crossing or movable bridge, the absolute priority is human life. Regulations state that the driver is obliged to: 1) Immediately evacuate the occupants to safety. 2) Attempt to clear the crossing (remove the vehicle) as quickly as possible. 3) If it is not possible to remove the vehicle, they must signal and warn train drivers and other users of the danger well in advance. Staying inside the vehicle is a reckless and deadly action.
