Thread: Hazard lights- RWC requirement?

I looked thru the ADR's to see what year they became mandatory & there's no mention of them at all, even as an optional light, or for new cars. .
Can anyone confirm this?
It appears you dont have to have them at all??.

Thanks,

I don't know sorry and im in a different state, but I thought as a general rule of thumb is if it's fitted it should be working?
If you cab't find the flash unit caould you fit another one?

Not sure, but I believe it was some time in the seventies - I know they were fitted to my father's 1975 Citroen but not my 1974 model (and they were not factory fitted, but fitted to comply with local regulations in Vic).

the fault lies in your hazard light switch, replace that and your laughing.

I can't see that replacing his laugh will help!

The switch will be enough.

Switch it is.

If they came out in your vehicle in Australia they must work regardless of year of manufacture as with every thing else on the car. Breaches traffic code if they do not. Not that most would even know.
