Question 4512
While driving on a freeway, you anticipate that your vehicle will come to a stop due to traffic conditions; how must you signal this?
- By turning on the position lights, even in daylight.
- With the rear fog light and the hazard lights.
- By repeatedly using the brake lights.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: By repeatedly using the brake lights.
When traffic stops ahead, warn drivers behind you by pressing the brake several times in a row so the brake lights flash on and off. If you cannot use the lights, move your arm up and down with short, quick movements. Once stopped on the freeway, you must also use your hazard lights to signal your vehicle's presence. The rear fog light and position lights do not warn that you are about to stop. In the image, the cars ahead are already braking.
