A has safely stopped beside the road. What does switching on the hazard lights tell other road users?
Blue car A has completed a permitted stop parallel to the edge of an ordinary two-way road, on a level paved roadside area clear of traffic and access points.
Correct answer: Use caution near this vehicle because it may present an emergency hazard
Why
The hazard switch activates both turn signals at once. Their purpose here is to warn other road users to be careful near the stopped vehicle. A has already reached a safe place where stopping is permitted. Cancel the directional signal and use the hazards for the emergency warning; they do not give priority or make an unsafe stopping place acceptable.
