At night, how must you secure a vehicle which has broken down at a place where it constitutes a danger to other traffic?

At night, when your vehicle breaks down and poses a danger to other traffic, you must immediately switch on the hazard warning lights to alert other drivers to the hazard. Additionally, placing a warning triangle at a sufficient distance behind your vehicle gives other road users advanced warning so they can react safely. This combination maximizes visibility and safety. Switching on the reversing lights is not a correct measure in this situation because those lights are meant for signaling when reversing, not for indicating a hazard. Following these rules helps prevent accidents and ensures the safety of all road users.
