Question 5973

What must you do if your vehicle breaks down inside a tunnel?

  1. Turn on the high-beam headlights for better visibility and have all occupants get out of the vehicle.
  2. Stop the vehicle anywhere inside the tunnel to avoid danger, even if the breakdown still allows the vehicle to move.
  3. If the breakdown still allows the vehicle to move, I must continue until I leave the tunnel or reach an area reserved for emergencies.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: If the breakdown still allows the vehicle to move, I must continue until I leave the tunnel or reach an area reserved for emergencies.

If you can still drive despite the breakdown, do not stop inside the tunnel. Continue to the exit or, if you cannot reach it, to an area reserved for emergencies.
