BDifficulty 2/5

Your vehicle becomes immobilised by an emergency inside a tunnel. Must you wait two minutes before switching off the engine?

Correct answer

No, switch it off when immobilised by the emergency.

No. Article 97.3 requires switching off the engine, activating hazard lights and keeping position lights on when an emergency immobilises the vehicle in a tunnel or underpass. It does not require waiting two minutes first. Request assistance and follow instructions; a breakdown does not mean you can resume simply because traffic moves. Article 115.2 additionally regulates stops longer than two minutes but does not replace these emergency measures.
