BDifficulty 2/5

To warn of substantial braking whenever possible, which signal is prescribed?

Correct answer

Repeated brake-light use.

Whenever possible, by repeated brake-light use or short, rapid up-and-down arm movements. A signal does not replace safe braking: in an emergency maintain control, do not delay necessary braking or pump an ABS brake to signal. Stopping or parking with lateral movement additionally uses the relevant indicator; immobilisation on a motorway, dual carriageway or in low visibility requires applicable hazard and position lights.
