What should you ensure about your vehicle's four-way flashers during the inspection?

During the vehicle inspection, it is essential to ensure that the four-way flashers are operational. This is a critical safety feature designed to warn other drivers of a potential hazard or that the vehicle is stationary. Proper functioning of the four-way flashers helps communicate to other road users the driver's intention or the vehicle's status, particularly in emergency situations. If the flashers are not operational, it may increase the risk of accidents, particularly if the vehicle has broken down or is otherwise a hazard on the road.

While brightness, the type of lights used, and cleanliness may contribute to the effective functioning of the flashers, the primary focus during the inspection is whether they work correctly. If the flashers do not operate as intended, it creates a significant safety concern that needs to be rectified before the vehicle is driven.
