Wait, do I really need warning devices on a normal road? I thought hazards were enough.

Momoka

Actually, you've got options! At night on an ordinary road, you can use hazard lights OR warning devices—either one works to make sure others see you.

Hikari

Oh, so it's not both required, just one of them?

Momoka

Exactly! The key is making yourself visible at night—so this statement is true!
