What are "hazard lights"?
Hazard lights, also known as emergency flashers, are lights on a vehicle that blink on and off to alert other drivers of a potential hazard or emergency. They are usually activated by pressing a button with a symbol resembling a triangle. Hazard lights are used when a vehicle is stopped on the side of the road, when driving in dangerous conditions, or to warn other drivers of an accident or breakdown. These lights help improve safety by making the vehicle more visible to others, especially in low-visibility situations.
Examples
When there is heavy fog, it 's important to turn on your hazard lights so other drivers can see your car clearly.
If your car breaks down on the highway, it 's safer to turn on the hazard lights until help arrives.
