Can you use emergency lights while towing a vehicle?

Description
Art. 31 para. 1 pt. 2 and 5 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137)
Explanation
Correct answer: No
Using hazard lights on a towed vehicle is prohibited because it prevents signalling the intention to change direction or lane using turn indicators. The correct way to mark the vehicle, as seen on the black car in the photo, is to place a warning triangle on the rear left side. According to Art. 31 of the Road Traffic Act, hazard lights are not used to mark a vehicle in motion while being towed.
