Are hazard lights and high-low beam alternation the same?
1 Answers
Hazard lights and high-low beam alternation are not the same. Usage of hazard lights: When a vehicle breaks down or is involved in a traffic accident on the road, hazard lights should be turned on to warn other passing vehicles. When towing a malfunctioning vehicle, both the towing vehicle in front and the towed vehicle behind should simultaneously activate their hazard lights to alert other vehicles on the road to maintain distance and be aware of the presence of another vehicle behind. If driving on the road and needing to slow down due to vehicle malfunction or other factors, turn on the hazard lights to prompt other vehicles to detour or overtake. Usage of high-low beam alternation: High beams should be turned on in situations with poor lighting, such as on highways or rural roads. In well-lit conditions, as well as when encountering oncoming traffic, following another vehicle, or approaching pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles, switch to low beams. On urban roads with streetlights, flashing the lights may be necessary. When overtaking a large truck, because trucks have large blind spots and high chassis, repeated flashing is needed to alert the truck driver and ensure safety before overtaking.
