BDifficulty 2/5

A Spain-registered car’s load falls and obstructs the carriageway. Must the danger be signalled while removal is arranged?

Correct answer

Yes, signal the danger using the regulatory device.

Yes. Use the regulatory connected V-16 device at the highest possible point of the vehicle to improve visibility; do not place it on the load among moving traffic. Use hazard lights and position or marker lights where required. Request help if removal cannot be done safely. Do not expose yourself on traffic lanes or shoulders to retrieve it; if leaving the vehicle is unsafe, remain inside with your belt fastened. From 2026, old warning triangles do not replace the connected V-16 required for this car.
