Explanation

When changing a wheel after a puncture or breakdown, you must switch on the hazard warning lights, keep the parking brake on and place the V-16 flashing warning beacon on the highest part of the vehicle (Article 130.4 of the General Traffic Regulations). If the driver gets out onto the carriageway or the hard shoulder of a road outside built-up areas, they must put on the reflective vest.
