Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: It should be moved away as soon as possible, no later than 24 hours.
A broken-down vehicle on a road or in a public place is an obstacle and a hazard to traffic, so it must be moved away as soon as possible. Even if removal is delayed, it must happen no later than 24 hours. Leaving it for the whole repair period or for up to a week while waiting for a rescue vehicle is not allowed.
