Question 5837
In which of these situations must the hazard lights be used?
- On a narrow road with many curves.
- When the vehicle is parked on a road section through a built-up area.
- When the vehicle cannot reach the required minimum speed and there is a risk of being rear-ended.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: When the vehicle cannot reach the required minimum speed and there is a risk of being rear-ended.
If your vehicle cannot reach the minimum speed and there is a risk of being hit from behind, you must drive with your hazard lights on. Parking on a road section through a built-up area (travesía) does not justify using them by itself, nor does a narrow road with curves. In the image, the white van has both rear turn signals flashing at the same time.
