Vehicle immobilizations
Explanation
In the event that a vehicle becomes immobilized on a **motorway or highway** due to an accident or emergency, it is important to follow certain safety measures:
- **No occupant of the vehicle should walk on the roadway.** This is crucial to avoid additional accidents and ensure the safety of everyone involved. People should exit the vehicle and move to a safe location, whenever possible.
- If there is no safe place available, the occupants should remain inside the vehicle with the **seat belt fastened**.
- It is mandatory to turn on the **hazard lights** and, if available, place the **pre-warning light** (orange light) to alert other drivers of the situation.

These measures are designed to minimize the risk of additional accidents and protect both the vehicle occupants and other road users.
