What may be a cause of a significantly increased flashing frequency of the turnsignals?
Description
Annex no. 6, table item no. 3 of the Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles and the scope of their necessary equipment (Journal of Laws No. 32, item 262, as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: A failure of one of the turnsignal bulbs.
A significantly faster flashing of the indicator light is a typical symptom of a blown bulb. The change in load in the electrical circuit causes the flasher unit to work faster, which is an intentional signal to the driver about the fault. A faulty indicator must be repaired immediately, as failing to signal manoeuvres creates a serious hazard on the road.
