Back in October on the last day I used the Zed I had to use the hazards. It was dark and I was standing outside the car. I noticed the hazards were double flashing.
I've just remembered this and have MOT on Saturday. Now guessing it's been like it ever since I had the car 6 1/2 years. Seems to be an EU thing from a quick google, so assuming MOT will be OK and hasnrt been an issue before.
I may have coded, but don't think so as I never knew about this function or would have seen any benefit in it.
Anybody confirm the MOT side?

I actually coded mine to double-flash, and it’s sailed through its MOT in December.

That seems much better than the hazards flashing at the same speed as indicators, saves confusion when you can only see one side of the car.

Hmmm I saw the option but thought it wouldn't pass MOT here, like the difference so might be coding that myself!

Coded mine to double flash and passed in January. Did take about 20 mins of head scratching for them to decide though

I've coded my E86 and E46 to do that and have not had MOT issues.
