While driving on an expressway at night, your car breaks down and can no longer be driven. Which statement about the breakdown warning signs is correct?
If your vehicle can no longer move on an expressway, you must set up a sign for a broken-down vehicle, and at night there is more to set up (Article 66 of the Road Traffic Act and Article 40 of the Enforcement Rule). Think about who the sign must be visible to and whether hazard lights can replace it.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Article 66 of the Road Traffic Act and Article 40 of the Enforcement Rule, a driver whose car cannot be driven on an expressway must set up a safety tripod, and at night also a red flare or similar signal visible from 500 meters in all directions. The signs must be placed where drivers approaching from behind can see them, and hazard lights alone are not a substitute. After setting them up, do not stay in the car; move to a safe place such as behind the guardrail.
