How would you mark a vehicle that was forced to be left standing in the road?
- Place a blinking flashlight to be seen to a distance of 30 meters.
- Turn on the two front winkers.
- Turn on the headlights during “light time”.
- Correct answer: Place a warning triangle behind the vehicle that can be seen from at least 100mtrs.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Place a warning triangle behind the vehicle that can be seen from at least 100mtrs.
A vehicle left standing in the road is an obstacle, so a warning triangle must be placed behind it where drivers approaching from behind can see it from at least 100 metres. That distance gives them time to slow down and pass safely. Front winkers or headlights do not warn traffic coming from behind, and a flashlight seen from only 30 metres gives too little reaction time.
