Your vehicle has broken down on the autobahn. What must you remember when having it towed away?

When your vehicle breaks down on the autobahn, it's crucial to follow specific procedures for safety and legal compliance.

First, you must leave the autobahn at the next exit. This is to ensure that you're not blocking traffic and to facilitate the towing process safely. It is part of the regulations to prevent accidents and manage the flow of vehicles.

Second, both the broken-down vehicle and the towing vehicle must have their hazard warning lights switched on. This alerts other drivers to a potential hazard on the road, helping to prevent collisions.

The option to continue along the autobahn to the nearest garage is incorrect and dangerous. It could worsen the situation and create hazards for others on the road.

Understanding and following these rules is essential not only for your safety but also for maintaining order on the autobahn.
