– Gradually reduce your speed, without braking suddenly – Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle – Observe the situation before deciding to intervene – Call 15 or 112 if the emergency seems genuine – Do not stop if the situation appears unclear or potentially dangerous
If the vehicle is parked on the side of the road and it is safe to do so, you can stop at a safe distance, turn on your own hazard lights, and offer your assistance—or contact roadside assistance.
A gesture that speaks volumes about solidarity among drivers.
This informal signal persists because it fills a void. Hazard lights indicate that a vehicle is stopped, but don’t explain why. In the absence of an official tool, drivers have created their own language. Ultimately, it’s proof that solidarity on the road is very real.
On the road, a thoughtful glance can change someone’s day.
