Correct answer
The driver must warn of it using the hazard warning lights.
When a vehicle driver is distracted at the wheel in any way, for example while operating a hands-free device or GPS navigator, the driver perceives 1 in every 4 signals and stimuli fewer, meaning that it takes longer to react to a possible obstacle on the road. Under no circumstances should the driver warn of the distraction by using the hazard warning lights.
