You’re driving on a motorway. What does it mean if the car in front shows its hazard warning lights for a short time?

Explanation: If the vehicle in front shows its hazard warning lights, there may be an incident, stopped traffic or queuing traffic ahead. By keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front, you're able to look beyond it and see any hazards well ahead.
