How can you detect your indicator is defective?

Recognizing a defective indicator is crucial for safe driving. The two correct methods for detecting an issue are:

1. When the indicator control lamp flashes faster than normal. This is a warning signal indicating that one of the bulbs might be burnt out.

2. Performing a functionality test before moving off ensures that all indicators are working properly and helps prevent accidents caused by signaling failures.

Both of these checks are essential because they help maintain vehicle safety and comply with German traffic regulations, which emphasize the importance of functional signaling devices for communication with other road users. By ensuring your indicators work correctly, you contribute to safer road conditions for everyone.
