While driving through a tunnel, your vehicle suffers a breakdown that does not allow you to continue driving. What should you do?
Right of way
Explanation
When a vehicle experiences a **breakdown inside a tunnel**, it is important to follow certain rules to ensure the safety of all road users.
- **If the vehicle can still move**, even if it is broken down, the safest option is to **continue until you exit the tunnel** or reach a nearby emergency area. This helps to avoid obstructions and reduces the risk of accidents inside the tunnel, where space is limited and visibility may be reduced.
- **Stopping immediately inside the tunnel** is not recommended unless absolutely necessary, as it can cause additional hazards for other drivers and complicate traffic.
- **Turning on the high beams** is not appropriate in this situation, as it could dazzle other drivers and does not contribute to resolving the emergency safely.
Therefore, the best option is to **continue to the tunnel exit, whenever possible**, to minimize risks and facilitate traffic flow.
