If all rear red lights are lit, what does this indicate?

• A. Hazard lights
• B. Vehicle parked
• C. Braking
• D. Lights out

Answer: (C)

All rear red lights being lit means you are braking. Brake lights come on at the rear when you press the brake pedal, signaling to drivers behind you that you’re slowing down or stopping. They stay steadily lit as you brake, and may include the central third brake light as well. This is different from hazard lights, which flash all indicators to warn of danger—those would show a flashing pattern, not a steady set of rear lights. So the steady illumination of all rear red lights indicates braking.
