Is switching on the emergency lights and placing a warning triangle at the distance of 50-70 m behind the vehicle the right way to indicate that it has broken-down on a motorway?
Description
Art. 50 para. 2 pt. 1(b) of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, consolidated text as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: No
No, the given distance is incorrect for a motorway. According to Art. 50 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, on a motorway or expressway, the warning triangle must be placed at a distance of 100 m behind the vehicle. The greater distance is necessary due to the much higher speeds, which gives other drivers more time to react safely.
