When that happens, the driver may be unable to switch on exterior emergency lights, fire suppression, and other emergency equipment. Losing exterior lights can make the vehicle harder for other drivers to see, raising the risk of a crash, and inoperative equipment can delay emergency response and increase the risk of injury.
