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.

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

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?

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
