What is the purpose of using your emergency flashers?

The purpose of using emergency flashers is primarily to alert other drivers that your vehicle is stopped or experiencing a problem. When you activate your emergency flashers, the blinking lights serve as a visual signal, notifying nearby drivers that something is amiss, such as a breakdown or an emergency stop. This helps to increase safety by making your vehicle more visible and preventing potential collisions, especially in low-light conditions or on busy roads.

The other options do not accurately reflect the primary function of emergency flashers. Signaling turns is typically done using turn signals, which are specifically designed for that purpose. Indicating that you are driving slowly is usually communicated through proper lane positioning and the use of turn signals, not emergency flashers. Lastly, using emergency flashers to show off your vehicle does not align with their intended use within traffic safety protocol.
