breaking down in traffic, and can cause acci­
dent and serious injury.

lamps or text messages.
• Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and
when safe to do so.
• Broken-down vehicles increase the risk of

users. If necessary , switch on the hazard
warning lights and set up the warning trian­
gle to warn other road users.
• Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away
from moving traffic and ensure that no part of
