Default Using emergency blinkers during rain -

WTF when did this shit start?? I'm driving the truck towing my trailer and driving into rain. It's pretty heavy so everyone slows down. Several cars in front of me one guy puts on his flashers, followed by two more people in front of me and the car behind me. Now it's heavy rain and at night, but I can clearly see at least half a mile in front of me cause the whole damn highway is lit up by GIANT FUCKING LIGHTS. so fucking retarded. in canada and NY near watertown people know what the fuck their doing, heading south it just became more and more of a clustfuck i never used my high beams so much

oh yea, and when the highway is fucking straight as far as the motherfucking eye can see (and you can see tail lights quite far into the distance), there's no goddamn need to do 40mph just cause its pouring, you're not turning and you have 4 wheels.. just maintain your speed and go straight

If I'm coming up on stopped or slowed traffic around a bend and have to brake a good amount I always signal my hazards to warn the person behind me. If its raining hard enough to where people are doing like 40 on the interstate you're s'posed to have em on as well.

I'm with Cakes. If traffic slows or stops suddenly I'll put on the flashers. Jake if it annoys you I'll make sure to do it more often... Now fuck off!!!

Na, I'm with Jake on this one. When the fuck did this become a law? Same thing on my way camping in the beginning of the summer, everyone on the highway has their god damn hazards on (sometimes for miles & miles), which is nothing but a distraction & frankly some of the stupidest shit I've ever seen. If you think your that much of a "hazard", get off the fuckin road!!
I even loved it when I saw the one jerk off in his Mercedes driving the with hazards on...BUT NO FUCKIN HEADLIGHTS!! Who thought this one up?

once the traffic behind me slows and I know I'm not getting hit I'll turn them off.

I've had to do that before when I lost my headlights. Thats exactly the reason he had his hazards on...he had no lights. Such hostility lol.
