Slowing Down.
Warn drivers behind you when you see
you’ll need to slow down. A few light taps on the brake pedal
-- enough to flash the brake lights -- should warn following
drivers. Use the four-way emergency flashers for times when
you are driving very slowly or are stopped. Warn other drivers
in any of the following situations
And
Driving Slowly. Drivers often do not realize how fast they
are catching up to a slow vehicle until they are very close.
If you must drive slowly, alert following drivers by turning
on your emergency flashers if it is legal. (Laws regarding
the use of flashers differ from one state to another. Check
the laws of the states where you will drive.)
