Questions Learners Have About Emergency Stops & Hazard Lights

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Emergency Stops & Hazard Lights, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

When should I use hazard lights in the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands, hazard lights (waarschuwingsknipperlicht) should only be used to avert imminent danger, such as a breakdown, when slowing down due to queuing traffic, or when your vehicle is hardly visible when stationary. It is mandatory during a breakdown unless using a warning triangle.

What should I do if my vehicle breaks down on the motorway?

If your vehicle breaks down on the motorway, try to move it to the emergency lane or verge. Turn on your hazard lights, get everyone out of the car to a safe place behind the crash barrier, and if necessary, place a warning triangle. Contact emergency services and wait at a safe distance from your vehicle.

Is it allowed to use hazard lights when loading or unloading?

No, hazard lights are not intended for use during loading or unloading. Voluntary stopping and parking where it presents a danger is not permitted, and using hazard lights when there is no danger is not allowed.

How can I ensure my safety after an emergency stop?

After an emergency stop, prioritize your safety and that of your passengers. Move to a safe location away from the vehicle, preferably behind a crash barrier. Make your vehicle visible by using hazard lights and, if dark or poor visibility, also side and rear lights. Wear a safety vest if available.

What if my car loses power suddenly while driving?

If your car suddenly loses power, try to steer it safely to the side of the road or emergency lane while maintaining control. Do not panic brake. Once stopped, activate your hazard lights and follow breakdown procedures for safe stopping and visibility.
