Question 5959

On this road with two-way traffic, if your passenger car is immobilized by an emergency, may you place the V-16 hazard warning light device?

  1. Yes, on the rear of the vehicle.
  2. No, turning on the hazard lights is enough.
  3. Yes, on the highest possible part of the vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, on the highest possible part of the vehicle.

Yes. On a two-way road, just as on any other road, you must warn others of the stopped passenger car with the hazard lights and the V-16. Place the V-16 at the highest point on the vehicle, usually the roof, so it can be seen from every direction, as in the image. The hazard lights alone are not enough.
