Question 6082

On this two-way road, when a passenger car is immobilized due to an emergency, may you place the V-16 hazard warning light device?

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

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

Yes. On a two-way road, you must also use the V-16 to warn others of the stopped passenger car. Place it at the highest point on the vehicle, as in the image, so it can be clearly seen from any side. You only need to reach your arm out the window, without getting out or walking on the roadway. The hazard lights alone are not enough.
