Correct answer
- AEncender las luces de emergencia.Switch on the hazard warning lights.
Under Article 49.3 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), when a vehicle cannot reach the required minimum speed and there is a risk of being hit from behind, it must be driven with the hazard warning lights on. Braking in jerks or flashing your lights does not serve as a warning.
Cuando un vehículo no pueda alcanzar la velocidad mínima exigida y exista peligro de alcance, se deberán utilizar durante la circulación las luces indicadoras de dirección con señal de emergencia.Read the full rule
