Hazard lights on recovery truck load coming on
« on: 12 June 2016, 09:34:29 »
Last Friday around midnight I followed a recovery truck from Bath to home - 10 miles - and whenever the truck braked the hazard lights on the 4X4 carried by the truck came on. I wonder why; no bad thing, I wonder how achieved.

My guess - the alarm on the 4x4 triggered each time the lorry braked.

I'd agree with that.  :y  The tilt sensor goes off with the rocking motion when the car is locked.

And it's annoying as hell when the alarm also goes off. You end up driving along with the car keys in your hand turning the damn thing off. Motorbike alarms are especially bad for that when you've got them in the back of a van.
