BDifficulty 2/5

If the driver of the vehicle travelling ahead activates the brake lights several times in succession, what does this indicate?

Correct answer

That the speed is being reduced considerably.

It warns of substantial braking or stopping. Article 109 allows repeated brake-light use or short, rapid up-and-down arm movements whenever possible. Do not delay necessary braking or pump ABS to signal. A lateral movement additionally needs the relevant indicator; immobilisation also requires the lights appropriate to road and visibility.
