IT IS ILLEGAL AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH HAZARD FLASHERS ON!!!
Um, no it's not, and it's rather appropriate if you happen to get stuck in a torrential down pour, which occurs quite regularly in Florida. Flashers indicate that there is a slow, stopped or disabled vehicle in the travel lane, and for following traffic to use caution. In many places in Florida, if you tried to pull off the road, you're likely to find yourself in a water-filled drainage ditch. If you can safely find a spot to pull off, and you want to do so, then do so, but otherwise you should stay on the pavement and use your flashers when visibility is reduced to that point and you have to drive slowly.
