BDifficulty 3/5

A traffic jam keeps you stationary inside a tunnel for more than two minutes. What should you do with the engine?

Correct answer

Switch off the engine.

Switch it off and keep position lights on. Article 97 also requires temporarily using hazard lights to warn approaching traffic and remaining in the vehicle during this traffic-related halt. Leave as much space as possible from the vehicle ahead and follow signs and instructions. Emergency or fire immobilisation has a different procedure, which may require leaving for a refuge or exit.
