Question 4726
If your vehicle cannot reach the minimum required speed on the road you are traveling on and there is a risk of being hit from behind, what must you do?
- Warn about it by repeatedly using the brake lights.
- Flash the headlights by alternating between low beams and high beams.
- Drive with the hazard warning flashers on.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Drive with the hazard warning flashers on.
If your vehicle cannot reach the road's minimum speed and there is a risk of being hit from behind, you must drive with the hazard lights on. This lets drivers behind you see in time that you are moving very slowly. Repeatedly pressing the brake pedal or flashing your headlights is not the way to warn them.
