Correct answer

Under Article 38.2 of the General Traffic Regulations, a driver who, because of an emergency, has to drive on a motorway (autopista) or dual carriageway at an abnormally low speed must leave it at the first exit. Meanwhile, if there is a risk of being hit from behind, they keep the hazard warning lights on (Article 49.3).
Todo conductor que, por razones de emergencia, se vea obligado a circular con su vehículo por una autopista o autovía a velocidad anormalmente reducida, regulada en el artículo 49.1, deberá abandonarla por la primera salida.Read the full rule
