Emergency flashers, or hazard lights, are typically activated when a vehicle is stopped on the roadside due to a breakdown, accident, or other emergency situations. They alert other drivers to exercise caution and navigate around the stationary vehicle safely. Additionally, they can be used in poor visibility conditions, such as heavy rain or fog, to signal the driver's presence. Always use them to enhance safety when your vehicle is not in motion.
