Question 4704
If the driver of the vehicle traveling ahead repeatedly activates the brake lights, what does it indicate?
- That the congestion requires driving on the shoulder.
- That the vehicle is slowing down considerably.
- Traffic congestion one kilometer ahead.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: That the vehicle is slowing down considerably.
Flashing your brake lights several times in a row is a way to warn that you are about to slow down considerably or stop. This signal does not say how many kilometers of congestion there are or tell anyone to drive on the shoulder. In the image, the cars ahead have their brake lights on in a traffic jam.
