Driving without headlights at night will result in a point deduction and a fine. According to Article 68 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, drivers who fail to use vehicle lights as required will be given a warning or fined, with 1 point deducted. The following four situations require the use of hazard lights: 1. Temporary parking: Hazard lights must be turned on during temporary parking, and in some cases, a warning sign must also be placed. When temporarily stopping to pick someone up or retrieve items, hazard lights should be activated to alert others of the parked vehicle. 2. When towing a malfunctioning vehicle: Both the malfunctioning vehicle and the towing vehicle must turn on their hazard lights; otherwise, they may face point deductions and fines. Failure to use hazard lights in this situation can lead to accidents, as trailing vehicles may not be aware of the leading vehicle's status. 3. When visibility is less than 100 meters: In heavy fog conditions, common in northern autumn and winter, hazard lights must be used if visibility drops below 100 meters. 4. When permitted by traffic police: Under certain special circumstances, with approval from traffic authorities, vehicles in a convoy may be required to use hazard lights.
