Question 6367
When are you required to use the hazard lights?
- When you reduce your speed on the road.
- When the vehicle is immobilized on a freeway.
- When the vehicle is double-parked.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: When the vehicle is immobilized on a freeway.
If your vehicle is left stopped on a freeway (autopista) or a high-capacity divided highway (autovía), you must signal its presence with the hazard lights, if equipped. To warn that you are braking hard, you flash the brake lights several times in a row, and double parking does not justify using the hazard lights. In the image, the car is stopped on the shoulder of a high-capacity divided highway with both green indicator lights on.
