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

Actually it isn't always illegal

So idiots driving 90 mph in blinding don't rain kill us.

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.

Same. If it is raining so hard that I am well below speed limit, like going 20-30 on the interstate because I can't see 10 feet in front of me otherwise, flashers are on. That is a legitimate time to use them IMO.


If it is just a hard rain, but I can still pretty much drive the speed limit or close to it, no reason to have them on.

Depends on the state.

It gives them free reign to turn and switch lanes without worry about putting on a blinker

Driving with hazards is fricking dumb. People that quickly come up behind you think you are stopped on side the road. It is illegal. Pull over if you suck at driving.

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.
