Truck broken down on the A10 motorway

If a truck breaks down on the A10 motorway, fast, correct, and safe action is crucial – both for the driver and for other road users. Here is the correct behaviour and procedure, step by step:

Sofortmaßnahmen (Sicherung der Gefahrenstelle)

Warnblinker sofort einschalten
Fahrzeug auf den Standstreifen lenken, möglichst weit rechts
Motor abstellen
Warnweste anziehen (Pflicht!)
Warndreieck aufstellen

Niemals im Fahrzeug bleiben, wenn es unsicher ist!

1. Your own safety comes first

Move behind the crash barrier
Do not remain on the carriageway or hard shoulder
Make sure any passengers also get to safety

⚠️ Especially on the A10 motorway (high traffic volume, high speeds), the risk is extremely high.

2. Order of actions (if possible):

Emergency call box (precise location transmission)
Breakdown service / haulage company
Police (emergency number 112), if:
- the truck is not completely on the hard shoulder
- cargo has been lost
- there is a danger to traffic

3. Location details:

Motorway (A10)
Direction of travel
Kilometre marker (shown on roadside posts)

4. Be aware of specific hazards

At night, in fog, rain, or traffic jams
When transporting hazardous goods
In the event of tyre blowouts or oil leaks

➡️ In these cases, notify the police immediately.

5. Common mistakes (must be avoided)

❌ Not placing a warning triangle
❌ Remaining seated in the driver’s cab
❌ Attempting repairs on the hard shoulder
❌ Stopping in unclear locations (curves, bridges)
