BDifficulty 2/5

A queue forces you to remain stationary in a tunnel for more than two minutes. After warning of the stop, what must you do with the engine?

Correct answer

Switch it off and keep it off until you can continue.

Keep it switched off until you can move again, while retaining position lights. Articles 97.3 and 115 govern stops in tunnels: this must not be read as requiring a two-minute wait before switching off. For a queue alone, remain in the vehicle; use hazard lights temporarily to warn approaching traffic and leave as much distance as possible from the vehicle ahead. A breakdown or fire requires different action.
