When can you use hazard lights on a motorway?

  1. When moving slower than traffic

  2. When traffic suddenly slows ahead

  3. When listening to emergency broadcasts

  4. Never

The correct answer is: When traffic suddenly slows ahead

Hazard lights on a motorway should only be used in emergency situations, such as when traffic suddenly slows ahead. These lights are meant to alert other drivers of a potential hazard and should not be used in situations where traffic is moving slower than normal. It is also important to note that hazard lights should never be used as a replacement for proper signaling and should not be used simply to listen to emergency broadcasts. In fact, it is illegal in many places to drive with your hazard lights on unless there is an immediate danger or emergency. Therefore, option B is the only correct answer in this scenario.
