When is it permitted to perform an emergency stop?
- After signaling a distress sign to the vehicle behind you only.
- Correct answer: In order to prevent a road accident that cannot be prevented in any other way.
- When the driving speed doesn’t fit with the road conditions.
- When the road is distorted.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: In order to prevent a road accident that cannot be prevented in any other way.
An emergency stop endangers the occupants and the vehicle behind, which may crash into you. So it is meant for a situation where you must prevent a road accident that cannot be prevented in any other way. A distorted road, or a speed that does not fit the conditions, calls for slowing down gradually in advance. Signaling distress to the vehicle behind also does not make a sudden stop permitted.
