Question 7362

If traffic conditions leave you stopped inside a tunnel for more than two minutes, what must you do?

  1. Stop the vehicle as close as possible to the vehicle traveling ahead.
  2. Drive with the hazard lights on until you exit the tunnel.
  3. Turn off the engine and keep the position lights on.
Show answer and explanation

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

If traffic keeps you stopped inside a tunnel for more than two minutes, the engine must stay off until you can move again, with the position lights on. When you stop, leave as much space as possible between you and the vehicle ahead, rather than stopping right behind it.
