re: People who drive in the rain with their hazard flashers on should be flayed.

But you’re not helping others safety. Flashers indicate a stopped vehicle. If your brake lights are in working order, they are sufficient to be seen, even in heavy rain.

What you’re doing is using a warning indicator incorrectly, so assuming you’re putting them on for others’ safety is in fact acting arrogantly.

But in fact you are endangering others causing confusion if/when you might be trying to change lanes. Wait, is that a blinker?

You’re wrong about the law and you are making driving conditions less safe. Hazard lights are used to indicate a vehicle that is not in motion, i.e. broken down. If your vehicle is moving and has its hazard lights on, you’re being an irresponsible driver

But they don’t make everyone else safe.

Let’s use some logic and common sense to solve this.

When do we typically see hazard lights?

When someone is pulled over onto the side of the road. It is the universal signal to everyone else on the road saying “CAUTION, VEHICLE PULLED OVER ON SIDE OF ROAD.”

Driving down the road with hazards contradicts the exact intent that everyone should universally adhere to, which is “I AM PULLED OVER, DO NOT HIT ME ON THE SHOULDER.”

It is extremely confusing, especially in the pouring rain, seeing two lanes of idiots driving with hazards on, and then seeing a 3rd set of hazards on further over. It’s confusing because typically you can’t see lane lines at all.

It also simultaneously makes it 10x more difficult to be able to differentiate between running lights and brake lights, which at this particular time is about the only thing that we should be focused on, NOT SOME IDIOT WITH HAZARD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY FLASHING OBSCURING OUR ALREADY OBSCURED VIEW.
