Question:
When should you use hazard warning lights?
A
When your vehicle has broken down and is causing an obstruction.
explanation
Hazard warning lights are an important safety feature and should be used if you have broken down and are causing an obstruction. Don’t use them as an excuse to park illegally such as when using a cash machine or post box. You may also use them on motorways to warn traffic behind you of danger ahead.

What are hazard warning lights?
To alert other drivers that the vehicle is temporarily obstructing traffic, a pair of intermittently flashing indicator lights known as "hazard warning lights" would flash simultaneously. They go by the names hazard lights and hazard flashers as well. Typically, they are turned on by pushing a red triangle-shaped button on the dashboard. Some cars (often European models) have automated hazard warning lights that come on when the car is braking hard or in an accident.
When should you turn on your hazard warning lights?
They are there to alert other drivers that you are a temporary hazard, for instance, if you are changing a tire or have broken down on the side of the road. Use your hazard warning lights if you are being towed. You must use hand signals to indicate direction if you are being towed while utilizing your hazard lights since they take precedence over the indicators.
When is it not appropriate to utilize hazard warning lights?
When you are in traffic, you shouldn't utilize them. You shouldn't be parking illegally, thus you shouldn't be using them to alert other drivers that you parked illegally. Any signaling with your indicators won't be visible if your hazard warning lights are on while you're driving.

Great app, just did 59/60 with first try on my theory exam. Exactly what you need to prepare! Would be great to have hazard perception training too.
