DDifficulty 3/5

If, for emergency reasons, you are obliged to drive your bus along a dual carriageway at an abnormally reduced speed, what must you do?

Correct answer

Leave the dual carriageway at the first exit.

Leave the dual carriageway at the first exit under Article 38.2. If the vehicle cannot reach the minimum speed and there is a risk of a rear-end collision, Article 49.3 requires hazard warning lights. Hazards do not authorise continuing to the destination. If the bus can no longer travel safely, follow the immobilisation procedure; do not voluntarily stop on the left side of the carriageway. Ordinary traffic congestion is a different situation.
