Correct answer
Switch off the engine and keep position lights on.
Switch off the engine and keep the position lights on; this is not merely a fuel-saving recommendation. For a traffic-related stop, use hazard lights temporarily to warn drivers approaching from behind and leave as much space as possible to the vehicle ahead. Occupants should not leave the vehicle because of the jam. Breakdowns, emergencies and fires have different specific instructions.
