Oh, just hazard lamps, right? That's what everyone uses when they stop.

Momoka

Close, but it's actually hazard lights, parking lights, OR tail lights — any of those work! The key word is 'or,' so you've got options.

Hikari

Wait, so tail lights alone are okay too?

Momoka

Exactly! As long as other drivers can see you at night, you're covered. Think visibility first!
