Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In the event of an emergency immobilization inside a tunnel (without fire), the goal is to ensure vehicle visibility and avoid gas poisoning. The correct protocol is: Turn off the engine: Crucial to prevent carbon monoxide accumulation in an enclosed space. Turn on hazard warning lights: To warn other drivers of the dangerous situation. Keep position lights (sidelights) on: So the vehicle remains visible in the tunnel's darkness. Additionally, you should place the V-16 signal and proceed to the nearest shelter or exit. Abandoning the vehicle immediately without signaling is dangerous, and honking the horn is only allowed to avoid an imminent accident.
