Under what circumstances should hazard lights be used?

[JaydenLee]

Hazard lights are warning signals that alert surrounding vehicles to keep their distance. There are four situations when hazard lights should be activated: 1. When the vehicle breaks down and is parked: During daily driving, if the vehicle unexpectedly malfunctions and cannot be moved to a safe area promptly, the hazard lights should be turned on immediately to warn pedestrians and passing vehicles for safety. 2. When making a temporary stop: Hazard lights should also be used when pulling over temporarily on the roadside to alert drivers behind. 3. In adverse weather conditions such as heavy fog or heavy rain: Hazard lights must be turned on when visibility falls below the required limit. Additionally, after activating the hazard lights, maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead to prevent accidents. 4. When towing a malfunctioning vehicle: If a vehicle breaks down during operation and requires towing by a tow truck, the hazard lights must be turned on to alert vehicles behind.
