Driving in tunnels

When entering a tunnel switch on dipped headlights and remove your sunglasses. Keep extra distance from the vehicle in front. If a fire breaks out in the tunnel try to drive out as quickly as possible. If that is not possible pull over, switch off the engine, leave the car and find the nearest emergency exit. Call 112. Never reverse or make a U-turn in a tunnel.
