If, due to a breakdown, a motorcycle is immobilised on the carriageway of a road with one lane for each direction of traffic, how must it be signalled?

Correct answer

With the hazard warning signal, if fitted.

If a motorcycle breaks down and is immobilised on the carriageway of a road with one lane for each direction of traffic, the correct way to signal it is by using the hazard warning lights or signal, if the motorcycle is equipped with them. The hazard warning signal must be used both during the day and at night to warn other drivers of the obstacle. If the motorcycle does not have hazard warning lights, or if the situation occurs at night or in poor visibility, the position light and, where applicable, the marker lights must be used. In addition, the emergency warning lamp, amber in colour, must be placed and activated at the highest possible point of the vehicle to ensure maximum visibility.
