Question 181

This vehicle has a mechanical problem and is traveling very slowly with its hazard lights on. Is this correct?

  1. Yes, because it has a mechanical problem.
  2. No, because hazard lights are only switched on when the vehicle is stopped.
  3. No, because using them on urban roads is prohibited.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because it has a mechanical problem.

If a breakdown prevents the vehicle from reaching the required minimum speed and there is a risk of being hit from behind, the hazard lights must be turned on. Their use in this situation is mandatory even while the vehicle is moving.
