Why do people use their emergency flashers when it’s raining?

I will if its so bad I can’t drive over 50-55 mph. I do a lot of hwy driving and I’d rather be safe than sorry.

People who do that are idiots. Those flashers are called "Emergency Flashers" for a reason, not to drive along the highway with them flashing. Causes more accidents than they prevent, and as far as I know, it is not legal to use them while driving in La.

I put mine on when it’s a monsoon that reduces visibility and slows me down on the highway like if there’s standing water on the road. Last thing I want is some jackoff in his daddy’s pickup to hydroplane up my arse.
If it’s just a normal rain, why would anyone need tlashers?

They use it to let the rest of us know they suck at driving in hazardous conditions.

This is a pet peeve of mine. If the rain is too scary for you to drive in, pull over and then put your blinkers on.

Because they are idiots.

Depends on the state.

Because they don't know rules of the road.
Posted on 11/7/18 at 2:09 pm to Walt OReilly
It gives them free reign to turn and switch lanes without worry about putting on a blinker
Posted on 11/7/18 at 2:12 pm to Walt OReilly
illegal where I live

The flashing lights are extremely distracting in a heavy rain at night as the light seams to reflect off of all the rain drops magnifying their brightness.
People need to stop doing this. If your scared of the road then get off of it.

So that the normal drivers slam on their breaks thinking a stalled out car is at a full stop ahead of them because that's the only time to use them... when stopped as a hazard warning. Headlights and taillights are what you are supposed to use during rain. If you have your hazard lights on, you better be pulled over and stopped.

It isn't illegal and that is one of the reasons we have them. It allows you to see cars when vision is limited like in thunderstorms or blizzards.

I quit using mine as they only work half the time anyways.
