re: LSP Finally Rules on Driving with Hazard Lights on is ILLEGAL

I only put my hazards on when there is a hazard, like a sudden stop or a condition where I have to reduce speed to the point that someone inattentive may hit me.

I mean, they literally taught me this in drivers ed. People are stupid. Just turn on your headlights and boom done.

Uh yea it’s been illegal. There are actually people out there that believe if they turn their hazards on it gives them a free pass to speed because it shows they have an emergency.

His post was meant to say (right or wrong), or perhaps imply, but not infer.

To infer is to derive as a conclusion from facts or premises. A person sees smoke and infers fire. To imply is to suggest something to another person, usually not expressly stated. The speaker does the implying, and the listener does the inferring.

The difference between imply and infer may go extinct soon. Like lightning and lightening, many people now use them interchangeably.

I disagree that this is a bad practice. During huge down pours when traffic is forced to slow down to 10 to 20 mph, there is always some idiot in a big truck that can”t possibly see past his hood that wants to keep driving 65 mph. I don’t want that idiot slamming into the back of me. I’ll get off the interstate at the first exit, but I’m putting my flashers on like 90% of the other drivers in those severe down pours. I doubt DPS is going to be enforcing it during those conditions any way.

I’ve never seen traffic slow down to 20 mph on a major interstate. If you feel the need to drive that slow then pull your arse over off the interstate.

Guess you have never been on the long stretch between Houston and San Antonio when one of the frog stranglers came through. How about you just deal with the minor annoyance of me having my flashers on until I find a safe place to get off the road so your bubba arse doesn’t run into the back of me.
