You experience a breakdown outside of a built-up area. Your car is situated on the carriageway, behind a bend in the road. Which is correct in this situation?

In the situation of a breakdown outside of a built-up area on a road with curves, it's crucial to ensure both your own safety and the safety of other road users.

1. Hazard lights: Turning on your hazard lights is essential as it alerts other drivers to your presence and indicates that your vehicle is stationary and can pose a danger.

2. Warning sign: Placing a warning triangle about 100 meters behind your vehicle is necessary to give adequate warning to approaching drivers, allowing them to react in time to avoid a collision.

3. High-visibility vest: Wearing a hi-vis vest is important for your personal safety. It makes you more visible to oncoming traffic, especially in low visibility situations such as at night or in poor weather conditions.

All three actions are required to comply with German traffic regulations when dealing with a breakdown situation. This helps ensure that you are visible, provides warnings to other drivers, and reduces the risk of accidents.
