For the indicators, simply activate the hazards which will illuminate all of them. For brake lights, look in reflections or ask someone to check. If an accident ensues due to a driver failing to repair faulty or blown bulbs, this can escalate from a simple FPN to a court summons, significantly higher fines and penalty points.

When a lamp blows, there is less load on the electrical circuit. The smaller load causes the electronics or turn signal relay to switch on and off faster, thereby causing the turn signals to flash faster.
With most modern cars, the indicators are controlled by electronics. These electronics are normally incorporated within one of the control modules in the vehicle.
As well as a blown light bulb causing the turn signals to flash faster, older vehicles were fitted with a turn signal relay indicator relay or flasher unit. These relays or flasher units can fail and will have similar symptoms to a blown light bulb. Or, they just fail completely! These relays were often controlled by a bimetallic strip, which would rapidly heat up and cool down and are not as reliable as modern electronics.
Turn signals or hazards stay on If the flasher has any sort of internal short it may cause the hazards or signals to stay on when they are activated, instead of flashing. While they may still light up, the lights will not be able to serve their intended purpose of signaling a turn or emergency situation.
This happens because your new LED bulbs draw such little power that your turn signal relay sees the bulbs as being out. Hyperflashing is when the turn signals blink faster than your stock incandescent bulbs did. A rule of thumb is to find a resistor with twice the power rating. Here I would choose a mW resistor since those are the most standard ones. A professional technician should perform a thorough inspection on me to be sure. While the dashboard lights may be flickering, you may also notice difficulty with the radio and the accessory port, the one used to charge your mobile device, may not work.
