Could be, but it is still a hazard for everyone else. My old vehicles the hazards stopped when you put on the brakes, but I just checked and my 03 doesn't.

Every day for the last 3 weeks I have encountered the same Chevy truck driving down the interstate with his flashers on. It is a 20 mile stretch that he does this. Is he telling everyone to get out of his way I am in a hurry or is he warning everyone that he may break down at any moment and cause a traffic jam ? Either way it is anoying as hell because he changes lanes all the time yet isn't going super fast.
It is just possible that his brake lights have in some way malfunctioned, and is using the 4 ways for brake lights. With the 4 ways on. They stop flashing and just glow when you hit the brakes, and would alert others that he is stopping.
Not an excuse. Just a thought.
Yep. That is exactly what happens when the brake lights are faulty. They work just as you described. I have seem many people use the 4 ways for brake lights. Again. Just a thought from experience.
