You’re driving on a motorway. The car in front shows its hazard warning lights for a short time. What does this tell you?

A: The driver wants you to overtake

B: The other car is going to change lanes

C: Traffic ahead is slowing or stopping suddenly

D: There's a police speed check ahead

Hint

If the vehicle in front shows its hazard warning lights, there may be an incident, stopped traffic or queuing traffic ahead. By keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front, you’re able to look beyond it and see any hazards well ahead.
