41. Use the Hidden Hazard Light Flash Pattern for Breakdowns

In some countries and newer cars, holding the hazard button for three seconds activates a special “breakdown” pattern that flashes all lights in a slow, attention-grabbing sequence visible from farther away.
It alerts other drivers more effectively than standard hazards. True drivers know this trick and use it immediately when pulled over on the shoulder. It can prevent rear-end collisions when visibility is poor.
