Question 3668

This vehicle is stopped because of a breakdown. Must its driver warn other road users of its presence?

  1. No; only truck and bus drivers are required to do so.
  2. It is mandatory outside built-up areas and optional on urban roads.
  3. Yes, and the connected V-16 warning light must be used.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, and the connected V-16 warning light must be used.

Any broken-down vehicle must be signaled, in urban areas and outside them, not only trucks and buses. Since January 1, 2026, passenger cars use the connected V-16 warning light, which replaces warning triangles.
