Correct answer

  • CCon la luz de emergencia si la tiene instalada.With the hazard warning lights, if the motorcycle has them.
Explanation

If a broken-down motorcycle blocks traffic, it is signalled with the hazard warning lights if it has them. Under Annex XII of the General Vehicle Regulations, motorcycles do not have to carry the V-16 device. From 1 October 2026 they must carry a high-visibility reflective vest.
