h2>Article 17. Slowing Down
1. No driver of a vehicle shall brake abruptly unless it is necessary to do so for
safety reasons.
2. Every driver intending to slow down to an appreciable extent shall, except where
his slowing down is in response to an imminent danger, first make sure that he can
do so without danger or undue inconvenience to other drivers. He shall also, unless
he has made sure that there is no vehicle following him or that any following vehicle
is a long way behind, give clear and timely warning of his intention by making an
appropriate signal with his arm. However, this provision shall not apply if warning
of slowing down is given by the vehicle’s stop lights, referred to in
Annex 5, paragraph 31, of this Convention.
