Correct answer
- Cretirarla lo antes posible y, mientras tanto, tomar las medidas necesarias para avisar a los demás usuarios y evitar que se obstruya la circulación.remove it as soon as possible and, in the meantime, take the necessary steps to warn other road users and prevent traffic from being blocked.
Explanation
Under Article 130 of the General Traffic Regulations, if the vehicle or its load blocks the carriageway, the driver must mark the obstacle and take the necessary steps to have it removed as quickly as possible. It is not enough to inform the authorities and carry on, and you do not have to stop the traffic in every case.
