What lights to use when temporarily parking on the roadside?

[LaBradley]

Temporarily parking on the roadside requires turning on the hazard warning flashers, which serve as a signal to alert other vehicles and pedestrians that the car is in a special situation. When a motor vehicle breaks down on the road and needs to stop to fix the problem, the driver should immediately turn on the hazard warning flashers and move the vehicle to a place where it does not obstruct traffic. If the vehicle is difficult to move, the hazard warning flashers should remain on, and warning signs should be set up in the direction of approaching traffic to increase the warning distance. If necessary, call the police quickly. In case of sudden heavy rain while driving, it is best not to use the hazard warning flashers. Instead, turn on the width markers and front and rear fog lights, drive slowly, avoid overtaking, and find the nearest exit to leave the highway. This is because the turn signals for overtaking may fail at this time, which can easily cause accidents.
