BDifficulty 2/5

In 2026, a car registered in Spain becomes immobilised by a breakdown on a Spanish road. Which hazard-warning device must be used?

Correct answer

A certified connected V-16 beacon.

A certified connected V-16 beacon, placed as high as possible on the vehicle for maximum visibility, following its instructions without exposing yourself to traffic. Since 1 January 2026, triangles and non-connected V-16 beacons no longer replace this device in the described case. Also use hazard warning lights and any other required lights, and seek assistance.
