Questions Learners Have About Emergency Decisions

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

When should I use a warning triangle in Switzerland?

In Switzerland, if your vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident and obstructs traffic, you must place a warning triangle at least 100 meters behind your vehicle. In urban areas, this distance can be reduced to 50 meters, ensuring it is visible to approaching traffic.

What is a rescue lane (Rettungsgasse) and when is it mandatory?

A rescue lane is mandatory on Swiss motorways during traffic jams or slow-moving traffic. It must be formed between the leftmost lane and the lane immediately to its right. Drivers must form it early, ideally when traffic slows to walking speed, so it's ready for emergency vehicles when traffic stops.

What should I do if my car breaks down on a Swiss motorway?

If your car breaks down on a Swiss motorway, switch on your hazard lights, pull over to the hard shoulder, and put on your reflective vest. Exit the vehicle on the passenger side and get behind the guardrail. Place a warning triangle at least 100 meters behind your vehicle and use an emergency call box if available.

How should I react to an approaching emergency vehicle with sirens?

When an emergency vehicle with sirens and flashing lights approaches in Switzerland, you must clear the way immediately and safely. This often means moving to the right, or, on multi-lane roads, contributing to forming a rescue lane, without endangering yourself or other road users.

Should I move my vehicle after a minor collision in Switzerland?

After a minor collision in Switzerland, if no one is injured and your vehicle is still driveable, you should move it to the hard shoulder or a safe location to avoid creating further hazards and obstructing traffic. Exchange details there, and call emergency services if necessary.
