Correct answer

Explanation

If a vehicle is brought to a standstill inside a tunnel because of an emergency, the driver must switch off the engine, switch on the hazard warning lights and keep the sidelights on. This is crucial for safety: switching off the engine avoids the risk of smoke and fire, the hazard warning lights alert other drivers to the danger, and the sidelights make the stationary vehicle more visible. These measures are set out in Article 97 and improve safety in risky situations in tunnels.
