Is it mandatory for a car to carry emergency warning triangles?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
It is **mandatory to carry two approved warning triangles** in a passenger car. These triangles are essential to warn other drivers in case your vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident and cannot continue driving.
- **Placement of the triangles**: You must place one triangle 50 meters in front of the vehicle and another 50 meters behind, on the right side of the road. This ensures they are visible from a distance of 100 meters, alerting other drivers to the presence of a stopped vehicle.
- **Emergency situations**: If your vehicle cannot continue driving, it is important to park it on the right shoulder or in a place where it causes the least possible obstruction. In addition to the triangles, it is necessary to turn on the hazard lights and, if possible, place a warning light on top of the vehicle.
Carrying these triangles is a crucial safety measure to protect yourself and other road users in emergency situations.
