The absolute first step is to prioritise your safety and that of your passengers. Try to steer your vehicle to the hard shoulder or an emergency lane, as far to the right as possible, and turn on your hazard lights immediately.
Do not stay in or immediately next to your vehicle. Get all passengers out and move to the safest possible location, ideally behind the crash barrier, as far away from the live lanes as possible. If there's no barrier, move as far into the verge as you can.
A warning triangle is mandatory if your hazard lights are not working, or if they are not clearly visible to approaching traffic (e.g., after a bend or a hill). Place it approximately 30 metres behind your vehicle, facing oncoming traffic.
Only attempt minor repairs if you can do so safely and without putting yourself or others at risk. For anything more complex, or if you feel unsafe, it is best to contact a breakdown service or emergency services and wait in a safe place.
If possible, try to drive out of the tunnel. If not, turn on your hazard lights, leave your car on the right side, and get out. Never allow passengers to stay in the vehicle. Walk towards traffic to the nearest emergency telephone to contact the traffic controller.
While not strictly mandatory for all occupants in the Netherlands, it is strongly advised to wear a fluorescent safety vest to make yourself and any passengers more visible to passing traffic, especially in poor light or visibility conditions. Safety vests significantly enhance personal safety at the roadside.
By completing Motorway Breakdowns, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in the Netherlands. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
