it's wild how many people drive around with their hazard lights on in non-hazardous conditions, is this a substitute for actual driving skills or something?

what's the point of hazard lights if you use them all the damn time? just admit you're a shitty driver.

same, it's infuriating. also, i'm pretty sure it's a status symbol now - "look at me, i'm signaling distress from 3 miles away

nah, sometimes i just forget to turn them off. get off my ass, it's not that deep.

fr tho, hazard lights are not a replacement for learning how to actually drive.

what the fuck are you talking about? hazards are there for a reason, maybe they need to slow down or merge or something.

People use hazard lights for more than just emergencies, they're also a warning to others on the road so drivers can prepare for a potentially slow or unpredictable situation.

hazard lights aren't a threat to anyone's skills, they're for safety when you're in a situation where you're not driving slow enough to be stopped by traffic but not going fast enough to use your

yeah for real, people use their hazards way too much. its like they're just driving around saying "look at me, i can't drive for shit!

couldn't agree more. it's like they're just begging for attention or trying to make up for their lack of driving ability.

hazard lights are the new turn signals these days. who needs to know where you're actually going when you can just blind everyone around you instead?

Do they think hazard lights somehow magically alert everyone around them to their decision to brake for a pedestrian, or is it just a easy way out of actually being a competent driver?

Y'all must be familiar with the new "vision of safety" law - put your blinkers on and hope the apocalypse slows down!

hazards on all the time is stupid af. if you can't drive without putting on your hazards, you should not be on the road.

do you think it's possible some people genuinely don't know the purpose of hazard lights?
0 0 0
yeah and same with people who leave their turn signals on for miles, it's like they're begging to get ignored by other drivers. goes to show how little attention most people pay to the road

nah that's not it at all. the hazards are for when you're going slow af and holding up traffic.

nah, that's just entitled bs. some folks need those lights on for real reasons, not everyone is a perfect driver. mind your own driving.

are people really that oblivious or are they just relying on the "i'm a worse driver than you" warning sign?

I use mine when it's pouring rain or snowy, just a courtesy to other drivers, doesn't make me a bad driver.

ikr? hazard lights are for emergencies, not because you can't stay in your lane.

yeah, it's either that or they're just signaling they're lost

is it really that hard to check your mirrors and adjust your speed before even thinking about the hazards?

i know right? some people just use their hazards as an excuse to drive however they want. no consideration for other drivers at all.

fr it's like they just hit the hazards and autopilot kicks in. zero driving awareness, smh.

I know, right? Hazards are for emergencies. Not because you can't stay in your lane. Maybe try using your mirrors instead of relying on flashing lights to make up for poor driving.

I drive with my hazard lights on all the time on rainy days, it's a courtesy to other drivers. It doesn't seem to make your driving skills magically appear if you're checking your phone at a red light though.

I see it all the time too - like, you're driving down the highway and someone's hazard lights are on for no reason.

wait are you just now noticing this or are you genuinely surprised people have always been reckless

do you have any idea how many people actually know what their hazard lights are even for?

idk, maybe they just want to signal that they're not actually sure where they're going

idk what's wild is you noticing this and not the actual reckless drivers on the road. hazard lights aren't the problem, buddy.

do people really think hazard lights make up for tailgating or reckless merging?

are these the same people who still use their fog lights in broad daylight too?

idk but it's just a desperate cry for help... or a hack for making people think they're a funeral

same. it's also like, a bad gps warranty or something, lol are they prepared for an actual emergency or just trying to feel safe while parking?

some people just love to judge others. hazard lights aren't for driving skills. They're for safety when the conditions aren't ideal. mind your own business and focus on your own driving.

I'm so with you on this. and can we also talk about how people think their car is the only one on the road when they don't check their mirrors or signal before merging?

Are you suggesting that people who actually know how to drive don't use their hazards in parking lots to alert others?

Totally agree, it's become an excuse for people to drive recklessly while trying to deflect their own responsibility.

Completely agree with this. a lot of people put their hazards on without realizing it's not doing anything for their visibility. And it's also just a bad habit when it comes time to deal with actual emergencies.

idk, maybe they're just trying to flash their personalities

Must be a lot of hazards on the road if they need those lights on all the time! Maybe they're just trying to signal to everyone else that they have zero idea what they're doing

are we really gonna pretend like the real mystery is the hazard lights and not the people who think they're a good driver but actually suck?

are you the driving police or something? mind your own business and keep your eyes on the road.

omg yes and can we also talk about how some people think their headlights are somehow invisible to oncoming traffic just because they're on

why does it bother you so much what other drivers do? mind your own lane and worry about your own driving.

omg yes i was just saying this to someone the other day! it's like, are you that scared of driving or are you just trying to make a statement?

Ah, it's just because they're trying to light up the road with their lack of expertise

yeah no kidding, and it's even worse when they leave them on in perfect weather just because they're 'extra cautious'... hazards are not a force field, learn to drive already

it's just a substitute for turn signals, and also sanity, and possibly basic human functionality

it's just a warning sign that they're about to drive badly

are they just really concerned about being seen or do they actually think it makes them visible to other drivers?

are you implying people's driving skills are somehow correlated with their awareness of traffic laws?

Hazard lights aren't for driving skills, they're for when there's an actual hazard. People who use them just to look important are clueless. Get off the road if you can't drive properly.

totally agree with this. is it also a thing where they think it makes them look safe or something?

i know right? it's like they're afraid to actually drive their car or something. hazards are for emergencies.
