If your vehicle is disabled, which action helps warn other drivers?

Hazard warning lights are the proper signal when a vehicle is disabled. They flash all four turn-signal lights to alert drivers coming from any direction that something ahead is obstructing traffic or the vehicle itself is stopped. This makes your car more visible and helps prevent a crash. Turning on headlights alone doesn’t communicate a stationary hazard as clearly, and turning off lights reduces visibility. Continuously honking can startle other drivers and isn’t an appropriate warning signal for a stopped vehicle. So, using the hazard warning lights is the best way to warn approaching drivers.
