Explanation
Flash your brake lights or turn on your emergency flashers if you need to warn other drivers of a collision ahead. This is important because it alerts drivers behind you to slow down and be prepared to stop, reducing the risk of further accidents. By quickly tapping your brake pedal 3 or 4 times or using your emergency flashers, you provide a clear signal to others on the road, enhancing overall safety.
