Question 4320

If, due to a breakdown, a vehicle is immobilized inside a tunnel, its driver must, whenever possible...

  1. stop the vehicle as close as possible to the edge of the roadway.
  2. ask another driver for help to tow the vehicle out of the tunnel.
  3. move the vehicle to the emergency area nearest to their direction of travel.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: move the vehicle to the emergency area nearest to their direction of travel.

If a breakdown forces you to stop inside a tunnel, whenever possible, move your vehicle to the nearest emergency area in your direction of travel, like the pull-off where the blue passenger car is in the image. If there is none, leave it as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway.
