@duggujain12 Nice suggestion… but reminds me of a hilarious incident that happened with my brother-in-law. He was driving his car with family to a new place and was looking for directions. He switched the hazard light on and slowed down to find the correct turn. Two women were driving in a scooter behind him for quite some time and as he slowed down, they slowed down too. Finally, when he found the place, he moved to left and stopped the car. The women came close to driver side window and one women started shouting at my BiL saying "Aap hamein confuse kyun kar rahe hain?? Dono indicator ON karke gaadi chala rahe ho?? Left Jana hai ki Right??" My BIL was clueless for a minute before realising what actually was the issue. Then he just got out of the car and explained them what hazard light is…

So your suggestion is good, but lot of awareness is needed about indicators on vehicles…

I feel there are very less people who do not know what hazard lights are
Because even when people park their vehicles especially cars on the roadside
They turn the hazard lights on
Only a small percentage of people do not know what is the indication of these lights

Some even use it as a “going straight” indicator at junctions. Other uses:

  • fancy lights because most scooters don’t have it
  • I’m going slow on purpose, so don’t honk behind me
  • in the rains or fog for extra caution

I feel it would be a very good feature to have in the 450. Though I never used it while driving no matter how hard it rained but the other night while riding back my Ather home, in very heavy rain I felt the need for it to caution passers-by zipping in the rain. As Windshields tend to get foggy due to miss management of the AC. The Hazard lights can prove life-saving.

@abhishek.balaji Their should be an option to turn on and off the hazard light basically both indicators to blink together.

  1. This could be usefull if their is any issue in the bike while riding in flyover and just want to let other vehicles know by turning on the hazard light.

  2. During rainy season or winter if their is heavy fog /rain while riding it can help other vehicles know that ather is on the road.:grinning:

I have been on a dark narrow highway in night where trucks were zipping fast beside me. I have turned on indicator to let them know, also i was pushing as i ran out of charge. I think it will be helpful in times like these

Helllo Ather owners ,

Very interesting option being bought to implement the feature but the main Reason for an Haazard light should be only used when the Vehicle is in Stationary position just to indicate the vehicle presence , unlike many users use this while being in motion which is totally dangerous and fatal .It is an offence to use the Hazard lights while in motion . @abhishek.balaji: The feature of hazard light should be enabled only when the vehicle is in stationary state and not in the motion and can be released in the future updates . Thanks Ather team for hearing the customer perspectives :slight_smile:

I too feel the need of same, also there is no pass switch for headlight. One more thing the luggage hook needs improvement, may be ather can release some accessory.

I’ve had some personal issues with people using the hazard lights just for fun or as a ‘straight’ indicator.

In my opinion hazard lights must only be used to indicate the vehicle coming to a sudden halt (braking due to an emergency / an animal coming in between or something) OR when your vehicle has broken down in the middle of the road OR you are reversing OR you’re parked at the side of the road and need to indicate to traffic that you’re going to be stationary.

This is another thread where a user named Gowtham has given his views.

Using hazard lights when you’re riding in fog or heavy rain or whatever just creates confusion for the people behind you. Are we supposed to assume you’re at stop? Are we supposed to assume you’re another thrill seeker who’s just using it to showoff and speed? Are we supposed to assume you’re coming to a sudden stop? I’ve almost fallen down because of people like this, it’s not a happy experience.
