f a car is disabled and stopped in a travel lane they turn on the flashers so people don’t plow into the back of them and have warning to go around them.
The more common it gets to turn on flashers just because of heavy rain, the less discernible it will be to differentiate the 2. Sure, 99/100 times you can see that they’re moving but if it becomes too common, you might assume that that guy in the blinding rain with his flashers on who ACTUALLY IS disabled on the interstate is moving and you plow right into him.
This situation is in theory only. It never actually happens. If you can't judge whether a vehicle is moving or not and you're worried about hitting someone, back up off extra space when driving in the rain.

It is illegal to drive with your emergency flashers on in Louisiana.
Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 32, § 327
C. Flashing lights are prohibited except on authorized emergency vehicles, school buses, or on any vehicle as a means of indicating a right or left turn, or the presence of a vehicular traffic hazard requiring unusual care in approaching, overtaking or passing.
LSP says it's difficult to see turn signals and brake lights when flashers are on, and the lights could cause other drivers to think the vehicle is stalled in the road.

It’s not a theory. It’s a plausible scenario that is flexible to many dynamic situations.

It doesn’t matter how well your judgment is. Traffic can be a dynamic situation. You’re not always going have time for judgement. Backing off an extra space won’t do shite when the other guy is stopped and you’re going 60 mph. You clearly can’t wrap your mind around any situation other than the narrow you’re thinking of.
