Should Hazard Lights Be Turned On When Pulling Over to Wait for Someone?

[DiKennedy]

When pulling over to wait for someone, it is necessary to turn on the hazard lights. Here are some precautions regarding the use of hazard lights: 1. Driving in foggy conditions: Due to poor visibility in foggy weather, not only should the hazard lights be turned on, but the fog lights should also be activated to alert passing vehicles. 2. Vehicle malfunction or accident: Hazard lights should be turned on to warn other vehicles of potential danger. On highways, failure to use lights and set up warning signs as required after a vehicle breakdown or accident can result in a 12-point penalty. 3. Towing a malfunctioning vehicle: Both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle should turn on the hazard warning lights to indicate an abnormal state to passing vehicles. 4. Temporary parking: Turn on the hazard lights to alert other vehicles.
