Can I drive with hazard lights on the emergency lane if my car breaks down?
1 Answers
When driving on highways, motor vehicles are not allowed to drive or park on the emergency lane unless under emergency situations. There are two types of emergency situations: 1. When a motor vehicle is involved in a traffic accident or experiences a breakdown and genuinely needs to stop to await rescue, it may temporarily park in the emergency lane; 2. The emergency lane is reserved for police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles when performing urgent tasks. If your car breaks down and you need to use the emergency lane, you should first call the police to explain the situation. Additional information: 1. For vehicles involved in accidents or experiencing malfunctions, after entering the emergency lane, they must set up warning signs 100 to 150 meters behind the vehicle and activate hazard warning lights as required. At night, width markers and tail lights must also be turned on. 2. Both emergency stopping belts and emergency lanes are temporary parking zones for vehicles that experience sudden malfunctions or need to stop urgently for other reasons.
