BDifficulty 2/5

In 2026, a Spanish-registered car breaks down on a road shoulder and becomes an unexpected obstruction. Its hazard warning lights work. How must the driver warn others?

Correct answer

With hazard warning lights and a certified connected V-16 beacon.

Switch on hazard warning lights and use a certified connected V-16 beacon. Being on the shoulder does not remove the duty to warn of this obstruction; position lights alone are insufficient. Also use position and clearance lights where applicable. Place the beacon according to its instructions without exposure to traffic. If you cannot safely leave for a safe place off the road platform, stay inside with your seat belt fastened.
