Questions Learners Have About Tunnel Emergencies

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Tunnel Emergencies, including how questions match the official theory exam in Spain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the first step if my car breaks down in a Spanish tunnel?

If your car breaks down in a Spanish tunnel, you must immediately turn off the engine, activate your hazard lights, and keep your position lights on. If possible, move your vehicle to the nearest emergency zone or as close to the right edge of the road as possible.

Should I try to drive my car out of a tunnel if it catches fire?

Yes, if it is possible and safe to do so, you should attempt to drive your burning vehicle out of the tunnel. If driving out is not possible, pull over immediately to the right, turn off the engine, leave the keys in the ignition and doors unlocked, and evacuate.

What should I do after evacuating my vehicle during a tunnel emergency?

After evacuating your vehicle, you must proceed to the nearest emergency exit or refuge. If there is a fire, walk in the opposite direction of the flames. Use the nearest SOS post to request help and always follow instructions from emergency personnel and visible signs.

Why should I leave my car keys in the ignition during a tunnel fire evacuation?

Leaving the keys in the ignition and doors unlocked allows emergency services to easily move your vehicle if necessary. This prevents further obstruction and facilitates their access and rescue operations without causing additional damage to your vehicle.

What is the difference between stopping for traffic and stopping for an emergency in a tunnel?

If you stop due to traffic congestion, you should switch off the engine, turn on hazard and position lights, but you should not abandon the vehicle. For an emergency (breakdown or fire), you must switch off the engine, activate warning lights, and then evacuate the vehicle, heading to a safe area or exit.

Can I use a V-16 beacon inside a Spanish tunnel during a breakdown?

While V-16 beacons are mandatory for signalling a stopped vehicle on conventional roads, inside tunnels, the primary focus is on activating hazard lights, position lights, and evacuating safely. The V-16 device is designed for outdoor visibility; its effectiveness and safe deployment inside a tunnel might be limited due to contained spaces and smoke, so priority is given to other emergency procedures.
