The correct answer is to signal it with the hazard warning lights and the hazard warning device, because when a vehicle is immobilised on the road or on the hard shoulder, other road users must be warned to avoid possible accidents. To do this, switch on the hazard warning lights and place the V-16 hazard warning device. This must be done both by day and by night, because other drivers need to notice the stopped vehicle in good time. Although the hard shoulder is a safer place, you must still signal that you are immobilised.
