Explanation
When you stop a vehicle due to an **emergency**, such as an accident or a breakdown, it is important to follow certain steps to ensure safety.
- **Turning on the hazard lights** is essential to alert other drivers that your vehicle is stopped on the road. This helps prevent additional accidents.
- It is also **mandatory to place the emergency warning light** (orange light) on the roof of the car to increase the visibility of the stopped vehicle.
- **Placing the warning triangles** is optional but recommended. These are placed 50 meters from the vehicle, one in front and one behind, to warn approaching drivers.
On the other hand, **turning on the dipped headlights** is not essential in an emergency situation. These lights are mainly used to improve the visibility of the vehicle in low light or bad weather conditions, but they are not necessary to indicate that the vehicle is stopped due to an emergency.
