In Finnish driving safety and emergency procedures, where should the warning triangle (varoituskolmio) be placed following a vehicle breakdown on a rural highway?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. At least 100 to 250 metres behind the vehicle
- Step 1: On fast rural roads (80–100 km/h), the warning triangle must be placed 100–250 metres back to give approaching drivers sufficient stopping distance. Answer: At least 100 to 250 metres behind the vehicle. Why not the others: Placing it too close gives fast traffic zero reaction time on blind curves.
