Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with Article 49(3) of the General Traffic Regulations, when a vehicle cannot reach the minimum speed required on the road and there is a well-founded danger of being run into by other users, it is mandatory to drive with the hazard lights on (all four indicators lit simultaneously). This measure makes it possible to warn of the danger in good time and avoid rear-end collisions. This obligation applies on all types of public roads, so it is false that it is restricted to motorways and dual carriageways. It also disproves the mistaken belief that hazard lights can only be used with the vehicle completely immobilized.
