IT IS ILLEGAL AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH HAZARD FLASHERS ON!!!
It renders your turn signals inoperative and makes it hard to tell if you apply the brakes. Plus you can't tell if the vehicle is moving or stopped.
Hazards are for vehicles parked or disabled along the roadway. Turns your headlights on and leave the flashers off. If it is too bad, try to pull well off the roadway and only then turn on the hazards!
The number of people driving with the flashers on created a very scary and dangerous condition.
Why was this Scary and Dangerous situation, was it not already that!
Did you slow when you saw all the flashing lights?
Most people see a freeway or highway as driveable at the speed limit no matter the weather or road conditions! Way too many refuse to drive for the condition, and speed forward into the blindness! Then blame the slower driver for driving for the conditions.
I see the Four ways as a great way to warn the drivers approaching from the rear. Most drivers don't look far enough down the road to recognize danger before it is too late!
