In the event of a breakdown of your motorcycle on the roadway, how should you signal it if it is an obstacle to traffic?
Lighting
Explanation
When a motorcycle experiences a **breakdown** and becomes an **obstacle to traffic**, it is important to **properly signal** to warn other drivers.
- The **emergency light** is the most effective way to signal a vehicle stopped on the road. This light, which is yellow, is placed at the highest point of the vehicle so that it is visible from afar. Its function is to indicate that the vehicle is stopped due to an emergency or breakdown.
- Although **warning triangles** can be used, they are not mandatory on motorcycles. These triangles are placed 50 meters from the vehicle, but in the case of a motorcycle, the emergency light is sufficient and more practical.
- **Position lights** are not suitable for signaling a breakdown, as their main function is to make the vehicle visible in low light conditions, but they do not alert of an emergency.
Therefore, if your motorcycle has an emergency light, you should use it to signal that it is stopped due to a breakdown.
