While driving through an underpass, your vehicle suffers a breakdown that does not prevent you from continuing to drive. What must you do?
Traffic rules
Explanation
If your vehicle suffers a **breakdown** while driving through an **underpass**, but it can still move, the most advisable action is to **continue driving until you exit the underpass** whenever possible. This is because stopping in an underpass can be dangerous and obstruct traffic.
- **Continue driving**: If the vehicle can still move, it is better to continue to a safer place outside the underpass. This minimizes the risk of accidents and avoids creating an obstacle in a place where visibility and space are limited.
- **Do not stop unnecessarily**: Stopping the vehicle in an underpass can be dangerous for both you and other drivers. Additionally, getting out of the vehicle in such a place can be risky.
- **Emergency lights**: Although it is not necessary to stop, if you decide to do so because the vehicle cannot continue, you must turn on the emergency lights to warn other drivers of the situation.
In summary, if the vehicle can keep moving, the safest and most appropriate action is to exit the underpass before stopping or seeking help.
