DDifficulty 3/5

If, for justified reasons, you are unable to reach the minimum required speed with your bus and there is a danger of being hit from behind by vehicles travelling behind you, what should you do?

Correct answer

Use the hazard warning lights.

Use hazard warning lights while moving under Article 49.3 to warn of rear-end collision risk. They operate the direction indicators simultaneously. They do not authorise continuing to the destination without addressing the fault or danger, or require a hazardous stop on the carriageway. If an emergency forces abnormally slow driving on a motorway or dual carriageway, leave at the first exit. School-transport use during boarding and alighting does not mean keeping them on throughout the journey.
