Question 4577
Before significantly reducing your speed when the reduction is not justified by an imminent danger, what must you do?
- Warn other road users by turning on the hazard lights.
- Make sure you do not endanger other drivers.
- Move your arm repeatedly from back to front in quick motions.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Make sure you do not endanger other drivers.
Unless there is imminent danger, before slowing down considerably, check your mirrors and make sure you will not endanger drivers behind you. Then warn them with your brake lights by pressing the brake several times, or by moving your arm up and down, and slow down smoothly. Hazard lights are not used to signal braking, and the arm moves up and down, not back and forth.
