Eurooppalaiset asetukset vikatilanteissa

Pysy turvassa vian sattuessa

Vian sattuessa on tärkeää ryhtyä seuraaviin toimenpiteisiin:

  • Pysähdy hätäkaistalle (pientareelle) ja kytke hätävilkut päälle.
  • Pue heijastinliivi (turvaliivi) yllesi.
  • Aseta varoituskolmio 30 metrin (moottoriteillä 100 metrin) päähän ajoneuvosi taakse.
  • Mene suojaan turvakaiteen taakse ja ilmoita hinaus-/tiepalvelulle tai poliisille.

Joissakin maissa on kuitenkin paikallisia säännöksiä, jotka koskevat vikatilanteita. Siksi olemme koonneet alla olevan luettelon, jotta tiedät, mitä kussakin maassa on tehtävä.

Continental toivottaa sinulle turvallista matkaa.
