Correct answer

  • BSí, empleando el dispositivo de preseñalización de peligro.Yes, using the hazard warning device.
Explanation

Anyone who has created an obstacle or danger on the road must remove it as soon as possible, and meanwhile take the necessary measures so that it can be seen and does not obstruct traffic. Until the road is clear, the driver must place the hazard warning device to warn of the obstacle. The V-16 hazard warning device is an approved amber flashing light with geolocation, powered by its own battery. It must be placed on the highest part of the stopped vehicle so that it is as visible as possible. Currently, the V-16 is the only legal option for marking a stopped vehicle or an obstacle on the road; warning triangles are no longer used.
