Correct answer
Yes.
Yes, by day or night, when getting out and occupying an interurban carriageway or hard shoulder under article 118.4. The duty does not depend on work lasting over ten minutes and is not limited to motorways. Put it on before getting out when necessary, and do not change a wheel exposed to traffic. This rule does not require its use merely for getting out anywhere: the scenario specifies occupying the shoulder. The current text also includes motorcycle drivers and other categories.
