A driver is forced to carry out an emergency stop. Which lights must they switch on?
Lighting
Explanation
For **emergency** situations, such as when a driver must perform an urgent service, it is necessary to use the **hazard lights**. These lights warn other drivers that the vehicle may pose a danger or is in a special situation that requires attention.
- The **hazard lights** are activated by turning on all the vehicle's direction indicators simultaneously. This is mandatory for cars, trailers, and semi-trailers.
- They are used in cases such as:
- When the vehicle has a breakdown and cannot maintain the minimum speed.
- During an emergency trip, such as taking a person to the hospital.
- To alert of a vehicle stopped due to a problem or emergency.
- In urgent situations, in addition to the hazard lights, the horn can be used intermittently or a handkerchief can be waved out the window to request preference from other drivers.
Therefore, in an emergency service, the correct option is to turn on the **hazard lights** to alert other drivers of the special situation.
