Agree, you shouldn't make a lane change with your hazard lights on.
What's your point? We should never turn on our hazard lights because we may forget to turn them off for a lane change???

We as drivers get used to seeing a lot of things on the interstate--all the time, including "10'+ high walls". Monotony and boredom can easily result in a tired, pseudo hypnotic state for a lot drivers---especially after driving hours non-stop at 75-80 MPH. Sometimes hazard lights are the last option we "slower" drivers have, to alert, wake-up drivers behind us that something is amiss, out of the ordinary, ahead.
It's customary for truckers to use hazard lights when their speeds drop on inclines. I think for the vast majority of drivers, hazard lights mean one thing---use caution, watch-out, I may be stopped or going slower than you think.
Why wait until you're already in an absolute emergency (i.e., accident) before you turn on your hazard lights? One of the first things to go in a rear-end collision is your hazard lights. What good are hazard lights at that point?
Yes and the monotony of driving with hazards on is often forgotten when making a lane change.
How do you deal with NO TURN SIGNALS?

Oregon is still 60 when towing. I also like towing at 62 but I usually find a trucker and follow him. As for the four way flashers I turn them on if I'm climbing a hill and doing under 45 mph.

Bothers me in Cali with their 55 mph towing speed limit when everyone else is flying by at 70+ (usually 80+). Dangerous. I applied some yellow/black caution tape to the back of my trailer.
