Sorry to disagree.
Unless posted, it is against the law to used hazard lights (4-way
Flashers) in a moving vehicle. Period! dot! Check your state laws,
that is the way it is in my state for very good reasons.

Reason: When you are using them, you have no turn signals! Think
about it for a while.

Driving rain, Horrid Snow, Bad fog, soft tire are all problems, they
do not justify putting the rest of the community to risk by turning
off your turn signals so the rest of us have no clue as to what your
intentions are.

Lotsa folks do it, a major peeve of mine. They have a false sense of
security. I'M SAFE, MY 4 WAYS ARE ON.

Jumps off soapbox.
