BDifficulty 2/5

In daylight, a passenger car registered in Spain breaks down and becomes immobilised on the shoulder of a conventional road. Must its presence be signalled?

Correct answer

Yes, with hazard warning lights and a connected, certified V-16.

Yes. Switch on the hazard warning lights and use a connected, certified V-16 beacon in the vehicle’s highest accessible position for visibility. Since 1 January 2026, triangles and unconnected V-16 devices do not replace the required beacon for this car. Do not walk on the carriageway to deploy triangles. If leaving is safe, exit away from traffic to a safe place outside the road platform; otherwise remain inside with the seat belt fastened.
