Near the HEMA in Vroomshoop you see a car further ahead with all four indicators flashing at once. What do you do?
- Keep driving at the same pace: that car is only going to park
- ✓ Slow down: there is probably a traffic jam or a broken-down car there
- Make room and let that car go first, as with an emergency vehicle
Correct answer: Slow down: there is probably a traffic jam or a broken-down car there
Explanation
False — you read the hazard lights as a parking gesture. Four flashing indicators mean: expect a stationary or slow-moving traffic jam, or a vehicle that has broken down, so slow down
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you read the hazard lights as a parking gesture. Four flashing indicators mean: expect a stationary or slow-moving traffic jam, or a vehicle that has broken down, so slow down
- Wrong: you treat every flashing light as if it were a priority vehicle. You only give way to a vehicle with a blue flashing light and a two-tone horn; four flashing indicators warn of a traffic jam or a breakdown ahead
