Question 4148
A driver is forced to perform an emergency service. Which lights must they turn on?
- The high beams.
- The hazard lights.
- The position lights.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The hazard lights.
If a very serious emergency forces you to use your car for a service normally performed by an emergency vehicle and you have no other means available, you must turn on your hazard lights, if your car has them, and honk the horn intermittently. Another way to signal the emergency is to wave a handkerchief out the window, as the driver of the red passenger car is doing in the image. Having your position lights or high beams on does not signal an emergency.
