English term or phrase: four way flash
Po sprawdzeniu internetów, rozumiem, że standardowo "four way flash" oznacza sygnał awaryjny używany w sytuacjach zagrożenia drogowego, ale w tym znaczeniu nie rozumiem tego w pełni. Na razie dałam (w samochodzie) "czterokrotnie zapalają się światła awaryjne, będę wdzięczna za sugestie. Tekst jest fragmentem zeznań policjanta.

Kontekst:
Mr X shuts the door and walks away from the car; simultaneously there was a four way flash on the car. I then saw Mr X by the car whilst there is a four way flash on the car. Mr X then opens the front passenger door - then shuts the door. There is then another four way flash on the car. Mr X then walks away from the car and there is another four way flash on the car.

zapalenie czterech (dwóch przednich i dwóch tylnych) awaryjnych lamp ostrzegawczych


Explanation:
As presently designed, automobiles, trucks, and buses use the same flash rate and pattern for hazard flashers as is used for turn signals. A hazard flasher switch causes both the left and right lamps used for turn signals to flashing unison. This “four-way flash” is universally understood to be the hazard signal for a stopped or slow-moving vehicle. Because the hazard signal rate and pattern of flash at present is the same as the turn signal rate and pattern, the only way to distinguish a hazard flash from a turn signal flash is to observe that turn signal lights are flashing on both sides of the vehicle.
