(lygenztia *48) It's OK, I have my "4-ways" on.

Don't you just love this?

Some person is driving at about 3.7 km/h on a road, but it's "OK" because they have their hazard lights on.

Hazard lights are just that. If you are in an accident (god forbid) or your vehicle breaks down, you activate your hazard lights, or as most people call them...your "4 way flashers".

But there is a new breed of "4 way flasher" users...house hunters, sight seers, people looking for yard sales, fast food delivery people, people perfoming slowness experiments, etc. They should have big signs on the back of their vehicle that says:
"MOBILE TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICE"

Then, there are the people that turn on their hazard lights, when it is raining or snowing. Don't you just love this? Gee, thanks buddy! No way would I have figured out that travelling conditions are poor on my own! I saw your hazard lights and "POOF", I went into a mode of cat like, ultra alertness and boy scout like readiness.

So, please if you have to use your hazard lights, for goodness sake do so. But remember, hazard lights are not a license to disregard the rules of the road.

Please don't use them to advertise to the entire world that you are an idiot.

Chances are, they already know.
