Vehicle immobilizations
Explanation
When a vehicle breaks down inside a tunnel and there is no area reserved for emergencies, it is important to follow certain measures to ensure everyone's safety.
- **Move the vehicle to the right edge of the road** is crucial. This prevents the vehicle from obstructing traffic more than necessary and facilitates the passage of emergency vehicles if needed.
- In emergency situations inside a tunnel, you should always try to **minimize the impact on traffic** and ensure that the vehicle is as far away as possible from the main flow of vehicles.
- Additionally, it is important to **turn off the engine and turn on the hazard lights** so that other drivers can see the stopped vehicle.
- All occupants should **exit the vehicle and move to a safe place**, such as a nearby shelter or exit, whenever possible.
By following these guidelines, the safety of the occupants is ensured, and the management of the situation by emergency services is facilitated.
