Just been renewing some bulbs, including the ones on the small warning panel. Sometimes when I push the indicator arm the trailor light flashes initially once:

Is this normal?

Should it do it everytime I use the indicators?

If it is normal then why does it do it?

I can always just remove the bulb again.

Also is it a legal requirement that when your hazards are on you must have a warning light telling you?

on indicating either way the trailer light flashes once then the indicator light flashes, when the hazards are on only the trailer light flashes continuously. I believe this is correct.

The trailer warning light will usually flash just once unless you have a trailer connected in which case it will flash all the time.
Yes it is a requirement to have a light warning you that the hazards are on however there is one in the switch so that will do.

Or if you have a towbar socket fitted, a bad earth.
