Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In the event of an emergency stop (breakdown, physical illness, etc.) where the vehicle cannot be removed from the roadway to a safe place (such as the shoulder), the priority is to 'be seen' and 'protect'. According to Traffic Regulations, you must apply emergency rules: 1) Turn on the hazard warning lights and, if it is night or visibility is poor, keep the position (parking) lights on. 2) Signal the obstacle using the V-16 luminous signal. 3) Before exiting the vehicle, the driver and passengers must put on their reflective vests and move to a safe location off the roadway.
