Your vehicle’s brake light is not working. What is the right course of action?

In the case of a malfunctioning brake light, according to German traffic regulations, it is crucial to address the issue promptly to ensure road safety. The correct actions involve arranging for a repair, either by a professional garage or through personal inspection to identify the fault.

Correctly identifying and fixing brake light issues is important because functioning brake lights are essential for signaling your actions to other drivers. Failure to have them in working order can lead to accidents or legal penalties.

While arranging for the brake fluid to be changed is important for overall vehicle maintenance, it doesn't specifically address the malfunction of the brake light. Therefore, the correct approach involves both arranging for repairs and attempting to diagnose the issue. This aligns with the responsibility of vehicle owners to ensure their vehicle is safe and roadworthy.
