New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road rules

When should you use your hazard warning lights?

The answer

  • When parking illegally for a short time
  • When your vehicle is stopped in a hazardous position or driving in hazardous conditions Correct
  • Whenever it's raining
  • To thank other drivers

Why that's the answer

Hazard lights are for genuine hazards — a breakdown in a dangerous spot, an obstruction, or crawling in hazardous conditions. They're not a free-parking pass.
