Correct answer
- Bcircular con la luz de emergencia encendida.drive with the hazard warning lights on.
Any driver who, for emergency reasons, has to drive on a motorway (autopista) or dual carriageway (autovía) at an abnormally low speed must leave it at the first exit. Also, when a vehicle cannot reach the minimum speed required and there is a risk of being hit from behind, it must use the hazard warning lights (all four indicators) while driving, to warn other road users. If, because of its abnormally low speed, the vehicle seriously disrupts traffic and its maximum authorised mass (MAM) is no more than 3,500 kg, it must drive on the right-hand hard shoulder, as long as it is usable and wide enough. If it does not seriously disrupt traffic, it continues in the right-hand lane. In both cases, it must leave the motorway or dual carriageway at the first exit.
