Question 8236
If you stop to remove from the road a load that has fallen from your vehicle, which lights must you turn on?
- The hazard lights, if the vehicle has them, and, when applicable, the position lights.
- The low beams to avoid dazzling other road users.
- None, when the road is sufficiently lit.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The hazard lights, if the vehicle has them, and, when applicable, the position lights.
When you stop to pick up the fallen load, you must turn on the hazard lights, if the vehicle has them, and the position lights when required, for example at night. You must also place the V-16. In the image, the car is waiting on the shoulder with its hazard lights and V-16 on.
