Vehicle immobilizations
Explanation
When a vehicle is immobilized on the right side of the roadway, the driver **may enter or exit cautiously from the left side**. This is important to ensure safety, especially in situations where the vehicle cannot continue moving and is stopped in a place that could be dangerous for the driver and passengers.
- **Exiting from the left side** is a safety measure when the vehicle is stopped on the right side of the road. This prevents the driver and passengers from exiting directly into the traffic moving on the right side, which could be dangerous.
- In case of an emergency, such as a breakdown, it is crucial for people to exit the vehicle and move to a safe place. If there is no safe place, they should remain inside the vehicle with the seatbelt fastened.
- Additionally, it is important to **turn on the hazard lights** and, if possible, place the warning triangles to alert other drivers of the presence of a stopped vehicle.
These measures help minimize the risk of accidents and protect both the vehicle occupants and other road users.
