Must the driver remove the vehicle from the carriageway when making a stop?
Vehicle immobilizations
Explanation
To ensure **road safety** and the **proper flow of traffic**, it is important for drivers to remove their vehicles from the roadway when making a stop. This is especially relevant in emergency situations, such as accidents or breakdowns.
- **Remove the vehicle from the roadway**: If the vehicle is still functioning but cannot reach the appropriate speed, it should be driven on the right shoulder or exit the road at the first available exit. If the vehicle cannot continue driving, it should be parked on the right shoulder or in a place where it causes the least possible obstruction to traffic.
- **Avoid obstructions**: When stopping, it is crucial that the vehicle does not obstruct the traffic of other vehicles. This is achieved by removing it from the roadway and placing it in a safe location, such as the shoulder.
- **Safety measures**: In case of a stop, the hazard lights should be turned on and, if necessary, warning triangles should be placed to alert other drivers of the presence of the stopped vehicle.
These actions help to **prevent accidents** and keep traffic flowing, which justifies the need to remove the vehicle from the roadway when stopping.
