Question 5625

If, due to traffic conditions, a vehicle becomes immobilized inside an underpass, the driver must, among other measures...

  1. leave the vehicle and go to the nearest refuge.
  2. keep the position lights on and turn off the engine.
  3. turn off all of the vehicle's electrical systems.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: keep the position lights on and turn off the engine.

If traffic leaves you stopped inside an underpass, keep the position lights on and turn off the engine when the wait lasts more than two minutes. Also turn on the hazard lights briefly to warn drivers approaching from behind. Neither you nor your passengers get out of the vehicle, and turning off the entire electrical system would leave you without lights.
