Correct answer
- BSí, con el empleo reiterado de las luces de frenado o moviendo el brazo alternativamente de arriba a abajo.Yes, by using the brake lights repeatedly or by moving your arm up and down.
The General Traffic Regulations, in Articles 53.1 and 109, require the driver to warn others when they must slow down a lot, by using the brake lights repeatedly or by moving the arm up and down as a hand signal. This warning avoids collisions with the vehicles behind. Hazard warning lights are not used for this.
