What does it mean when a car turns on the hazard lights?

[McElena]

Turning on the hazard lights in a car is a danger warning signal. Here is an introduction to the relevant content: 1. Hazard lights: Indicates that the vehicle has a minor driving fault and cannot accelerate or exceed the speed limit normally, prompting the following vehicles to drive safely and yield normally. 2. Traffic regulations: When a breakdown or accident occurs on the highway, the hazard warning lights must be turned on, and at night, the width marker lights and tail lights should also be turned on simultaneously. When the light switch is turned to the first position, the small lights that illuminate front and rear are the width marker lights. These indicate the width of the vehicle and alert other drivers. The hazard lights are emergency lights; when activated, both small lights flash simultaneously to alert passing vehicles to drive safely. Hazard lights are usually used in foggy or heavy rain conditions, when the car breaks down, or in emergency situations.
