Important Reason You Shouldn't Be Switching On Hazard Light a.k.a Double Pointer by Presegs(op): 8:17am On Sep 21, 2020
If you are running in the rain while the hazard light a.k.a double-pointer is switched on as most people do, how will you be able to point to the left or right using the trafficator?

Best is for you to switch on the headlight or parking light of your vehicle so that any vehicle at your front or back will sight you with the help of the tail light that will also switch on. In that state, you will also be able to point to the left or right using the trafficator.

More junk from a junk website

Many cars prioritize turn indicators. If the hazard lights are on and the left turn indicator switch is engaged, the right hazard light temporarily turns off till the turn indicator returns to the normal or resting position.

Free knowledge for you, you don't need to pay

Not like you can afford it, anyway.

For mid 2000's cars( no be all o).
So what happens when you drive cars without it?


Don't be in a haste to cancel.

Wisdom is profitable to direct and intelligence to contribute and not cancel or be insultive.

Majority of cars on Nigerian roads don't have that feature which I'm aware of.

But it is not a bad info. While I first start with parking lights but it can get really bad especially when the rain hits harder, you really can not see the car in front of you and suddenly, his hazard comes on, oh what a sigh of relief, then I got mine cos I now know that I too can be seen by others.
