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

If someone is driving with flashers I should stop and/or change lanes?
Those aren't your only options, tard.

All depends on the rain. For a regular rain, absolutely. However, rule of thumb is when your wipers can't keep up with the rain when they are full speed hazards lights are recommended.
Sounds like a baloney PoBoy to me.

I answered your question. In order to advance the conversation answer mine.

Because, as well as this is about to go over, there a lot of people posting here who are more intelligent than the average coonass and the perspectives here often conflict with the masses because of that. The masses are stupid, especially in louisiana.

Under Florida Statute 316.2397(7), this regulation was modified to allow drivers to use their hazard lights during periods of “extremely low visibility” and while driving at speeds above 55 mph. Inclement weather, such as heavy rain, can create extreme low visibility conditions and thus is now considered a valid circumstance in which to use these lights.
Boudreaux from Denham Springs in the F150 says impossible!
During my 5 years at LSU, I found out easily Louisiana has the largest amount of dogshit drivers so it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest I’m taking the side of Floridans, Ohioans, and Alabamians in here

Maybe God blessed me with a talent he didn’t bestow upon our fellow OTers from Louisiana, but when I’m behind someone with their blinking flashers on in a downpour, I can quickly access if they’re completely stopped (the lights are getting bigger/closer) or if that person is moving the same speed as me (the lights stay the same size and distance)

Correct, and that isn't why they're being used.
Okay, the other reason would be due to slower speeds, which is also incorrect usage.

If the visibility is so bad that it is termed “extremely low visibility”, in the name of safety you shouldn’t be driving 55 mph where a vehicle weighing over a ton can travel 80ft/second. You should pull off the road at a safe location, put on your hazard lights, and wait for the conditions to improve.
But I guess thinking that just makes me a retard from Louisiana right?

this pisses me off to no end.
Put your hazards on if your vehicle is disabled or you are on the side of the road, DO NOT use them while you are in motion.

I think you don't understand what the problem is, which seems to be the prevailing theme.

No you asked that question after I answered yours and asked mine. It’s ok if you missed that.

So hazards should be used whenever the flowing traffic changes?

I don’t disagree they shouldn’t pull over as that’s the safest option of all
But you admitted a guy going 45 in a 75 with flashers on could’ve gotten people killed. You really think it’s the flashers that were the problem? Or the..idk..going 45 mph on the intestate?
People are capable of going the acceptable speed with flashers on hence the poster above dropping a list of a majority of the states where they permit you to drive with them in low visibility except ..you guessed it…Louisiana

This is wrong. Some states require their use for certain speeds or vehicles.

Reading the thread, it seems like baws don’t like it because they can’t tell if a car is stopped or moving in front of them. Which is beyond me because it doesn’t seem like a problem anywhere else in the country

That's the point, you shouldn't need to tell, which is the basis for the law. You've clearly never driven in true white out blinding conditions, it's easier to see a continuous light than intermittent light. If their hazards aren't on, then you know they are still moving forward and you're not going to just plow into them. Depth perception is better with a continuous glow than it is with intermittent lighting.
