Why should hazard warning signal lights be activated while stopped on the roadway or shoulder?

To save battery power
To warn other drivers of a potential danger
To illuminate the road at night
To signal for help

The correct answer is: To warn other drivers of a potential danger

Activating hazard warning signal lights while stopped on the roadway or shoulder serves an important function in alerting other drivers about a potential danger. When a vehicle is stationary in a place where it could pose risks to moving traffic, such as on the shoulder or in the lane, the hazard lights indicate that the vehicle is not in a normal operating position. This visual warning helps other drivers recognize that there might be an issue that requires caution, allowing them to slow down, change lanes, or navigate safely around the stopped vehicle. This action is essential for preventing collisions and ensuring the safety of everyone on the road. Other possible reasons for using hazard lights, like saving battery power, illuminating the road, or signaling for help, do not directly address the primary intention of communicating the presence of a potential hazard to other drivers.
