This vehicle is immobilized because of damage. Should it give a warning?
A)Yes, by placing V16 emergency beacon.Correct
B)On a motorway or dual carriageway, yes; on the highway, no.
C)No, because the vehicle is not a truck.
In Spain, an immobilized vehicle due to a breakdown or damage must be warned/signalled because it becomes a temporary hazard for other road users.
The DGT explains that the correct way (updated for 2026) is to use the connected V16 emergency beacon, which becomes the only legal warning device for immobilized vehicles from 1 January 2026, replacing warning triangles.
The other options are incorrect because the duty to warn does not depend on whether it’s a motorway or a “truck” — the key factor is that the vehicle is immobilized and may pose a risk, so it must be properly signalled with the V16 under the 2026 rules.
