Explanation

Article 46.1.f of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) requires you to drive at a moderate speed and, if necessary, stop when you approach broken-down (immobilised) vehicles on the carriageway outside built-up areas. If the vehicle occupies the lane, when you pass it you must leave at least 1.5 metres and reduce your speed by 20 km/h (Article 88.1).
