Correct answer

  • CSí, debe llevar sólo un dispositivo de preseñalización V-16.Yes, they must carry just one V-16 hazard warning device.
Explanation

The V-16 hazard warning device is an approved amber-yellow light with geolocation. It runs on its own power supply (batteries). It must be placed on the highest point of the broken-down vehicle, to make it as visible as possible. Today the V-16 is the only legal way to signal a broken-down vehicle or an obstacle on the road. Warning triangles are no longer used.
