Your motorcycle has hazard warning lights and is immobilised by a breakdown, creating a danger for other road users. May you use those lights to warn them?

Correct answer

Yes

Yes. You may use the motorcycle’s hazard warning lights to warn of dangerous immobilisation; they are not prohibited on motorcycles and their use is not restricted to roads outside built-up areas. On motorways, dual carriageways or in circumstances significantly reducing visibility, use those lights if fitted and, where appropriate, position lights to indicate the vehicle’s presence. They are a warning rather than a means of obtaining priority; move the vehicle to a safe place when possible.
