Question 7367

If traffic conditions force you to remain stopped in your vehicle for more than 2 minutes inside a tunnel, what must you do?

  1. Turn off the engine and the position lights and turn on the hazard lights.
  2. Keep the engine running and turn on the hazard lights.
  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 forces you to wait more than two minutes inside a tunnel, the engine must stay off until you can move again, and the position lights must stay on. Turn on the hazard lights briefly to warn drivers behind you, but they do not replace the position lights or allow you to leave the engine running.
