A special vehicle breaks down and remains immobilised, obstructing the road. In addition to the applicable lights, what must the driver use to warn of the danger under Article 130.4?

Correct answer

The prescribed hazard pre-warning device.

The prescribed hazard pre-warning device. Article 130.4 requires the driver to use it to warn of the situation, in addition to the prescribed lights. Since 1 January 2026, the valid pre-warning device is a connected V-16 beacon. This question concerns use following immobilisation; it does not assign all special vehicles a spare-wheel kit requirement or indiscriminately include them in Annex XII’s equipment categories under the General Vehicle Regulations.
