i am just curious why do flashers trigger so many on here?
Flashers are to be used when your vehicle is disabled/inoperable. In low visibility, when I see flashing lights I presume the vehicle I’m approaching may be disabled and I react accordingly.
When it’s raining, just put on your wipers and low beams. If you feel like you can’t safely operate your vehicle, then get off the road.

Thanks for the reminder. Just turned my hazard lights on.
You never paid attention whilst driving-

One on I-10 yesterday was not only keeping up with traffic, but was the pace car. Flashers going.

If they are scared, they should pull over at the next exit and wait it out.

RULE OF THUMB:
If your wipers aren’t keeping up with the amount of rain use your flashers.
This has been the rule for decades. I don’t know why everyone recently started getting their panties in a wad about it.

To what, flash the rain off? If you can't drive, pull over to the side of the road if there is a shoulder, stop, and THEN put your hazards on.

This is not, nor has it ever been, a rule. It’s actually totally wrong in fact.

It a rule of thumb.

At least they're using flashers at all. I care more about assholes who think signal changes are optional.

Well your thumbs are dumb

Yeah, two drops of rain and Texans lose their mind and drive 25 mph on interstate. Smh

As others have said it is illegal in a lot of states, why would that be? Something to do with practicality and making a dangerous situation worse or they just missed rule of thumb day? "rule of thumb" based on my windshield wiper speed lol - eat a bag of dicks moron.

Not so sure about the "thumb rule" but if it's that bad get off the road.
According to this information, it is not necessary nor legal. KEEL radio article
While driving, you'll inevitably see other drivers using their hazard lights while driving in that rain. You might even be the one turning them on, or at least have the urge to. But that maneuver is actually illegal in the state.
The simple writing of the law says:
"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."

I live in East Texas, Longview. Never saw this practice until about 5 years ago in Dallas. It annoys on the level of seeing someone, by the themself, in a car, with a mask on. It’s retarded.

It bothers me more than it should. And I believe there is a law against driving with hazard flashers on in La. Passed about a year ago?

This exact thing happened to me on Friday while driving to Biloxi.
