Correct answer
- AAntes de bajar del vehículo.Before getting out of the vehicle.
At an accident, first take protective measures for yourself and for other road users. Protect yourself by parking your vehicle in a safe place, if possible off the carriageway and the hard shoulder. If this is not possible, switch on the hazard warning lights. Put on the reflective vest before getting out of the vehicle. It is important to get out already wearing the vest, so that other road users can see you better and you are better protected. Although you only have to carry one in the vehicle, it is a good idea to carry more.
