What Lights to Use When Parking on the Roadside at Night?
1 Answers
When parking on the roadside at night, you should turn on the hazard warning lights. Below are the specific details: Introduction: The vehicle hazard warning lights, often referred to as "hazard lights" or "flashers," are signal lights that alert other vehicles and pedestrians to special circumstances involving your vehicle. Unlike other light switches that are integrated together, the hazard light switch is unique—it exists independently and has a very distinct identifier: a red triangle. Typically, the hazard light switch is located on the center console to the right of the steering wheel, though some models may have it positioned below the center console. When pressed, both sides' warning lights flash simultaneously. Usage of Hazard Lights: On the road, hazard lights are used in foggy conditions. The need for hazard lights in fog depends on the severity of the fog. If the fog is not too thick and visibility does not affect driving at the prescribed speed, then hazard lights are unnecessary. However, in heavy fog with very low visibility, hazard lights must be turned on. On highways, hazard lights should be used in conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail when visibility drops below 100 meters.
