I talked to the state patrol and it is illegal. They said get his license number and call 911. When I said I didn't want to call 911 for a non emergency they advised me that it was the proper thing to do and was okay. They said they would contact him to find out more information or pull him over if an officer is near the area.

The part that bothers me is he constantly changes lanes and then exits, but nobody has any idea what he is doing unless he brakes. Not that you can always tell what everyone is going to do, but this adds to the confusion and effects traffic.

:) Hi, I see things on the road almost every day that I don't like. People not stopping at stop signs, turning from the wrong lane, passing school busses with red flashing lights on, blasting their boom-boom noise makers, Etc. If you call the cops because you don't like someone using their hazard lights, then you're an idiot. This person might have a good reason for doing it and you should leave him alone.

Never said I was calling the cops and even if I do it doesn't make me an idiot ! Tell me one good reason a person would have to drive with their hazards on every single day ! He is not driving slow or cautiously and constantly changes lanes. This in turn causes confusion to the rest of the drivers which creates a hazard to everyone on the road. In my mind that makes him the idiot ! If you have to drive with your flashers on every day then you should just stay home. The state patrol doesn't want people to put their flashers on in rain or snow either. Unless there is an emergency or they are pulled over. They claim it causes more accidents.
