Driving with Hazards On!
Please allow me to vent. A couple of days ago I had to drive in a toad strangler of a thunderstorm in South Florida. Visibility was bad and made it unsafe to drive more than 20 MPH. IT IS ILLEG...

Looks like Fla needs to get their act together as they are in conflict with federal law. LINK
Did you read the article you linked to? Here are the final 4 paragraphs;
But Lt. Jeff Frost of the Florida Highway Patrol does not believe the conflicting language should cause confusion, as long as drivers remember that flashing emergency lights mean a vehicle is sitting still.
Frost said all drivers who see flashing emergency lights should immediately assume a vehicle is broken down in, or beside, the road and should take appropriate action.
After spending years on the open highway, truck driver Rick Long is adamant that drivers of passenger vehicles pose a danger when they drive with flashers on.
Long said too many drivers use flashers when they are moving slowly. Other drivers approaching from the rear might stop in the road when they see flashers, thinking the vehicle is stopped, and that could trigger a pileup.

As for the OPs comments, I also hate it when people drive with their flashers on in Fla rain storms. It is illegal in Fla.
