Explanation

For answer  A  and  B 

It is not enough to use only the hazard warning lights or only to install the reflective triangles when the motor vehicle breaks down on the carriageway. The road traffic legislation clearly imposes the obligation to use both types of signalling: both the hazard warning lights and the reflective triangles must be used simultaneously in such situations.


For answer  C 

In the situation in which you remain with the vehicle broken down on the carriageway, you must take it immediately outside the carriageway. And if taking it outside the carriageway is not possible, you must move it next to the curb or shoulder, signalling the vehicle by putting into operation the hazard warning lights and by installing the reflective triangles at at least 30 meters before and after it.


The correct answer is: C

(2) The reflective triangles are installed in front and behind the vehicle, on the same traffic lane, at a distance of at least 30 m from it, so that they can be observed in time by the traffic participants who are approaching.
