What does it mean to turn on hazard lights while driving?
1 Answers
Turning on hazard lights while driving is due to vehicle malfunction, low visibility on the road, towing a faulty vehicle, and other situations. Vehicle malfunction: If the vehicle's braking system fails during driving and the vehicle cannot be stopped quickly and effectively. Turning on the hazard lights will make both small lights flash simultaneously to alert passing vehicles to be cautious. Low visibility on the road: When driving on highways, encountering low visibility weather conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, with visibility less than 100 meters. Towing a faulty vehicle: The vehicle is in an abnormal state. Traffic regulations state that hazard warning lights must be turned on when a vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident on the highway, and at night, width markers and tail lights should also be turned on simultaneously. Hazard lights can be used in the following situations: Driving in fog: Due to poor visibility in foggy conditions, not only should hazard lights be turned on, but fog lights should also be activated to alert passing vehicles and provide illumination. When temporarily parked on the road: When temporarily parked on the road, especially in non-motorized lanes or when parking on the side, hazard warning lights should be turned on immediately to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians for safety. The driver should not leave the vehicle casually. Towed vehicle: If a vehicle is unable to move after an accident and needs to be towed, both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle must turn on hazard lights to alert pedestrians and other vehicles, serving as a danger warning.
