..."anti-hazard light sickness"...
seems to me, that's another reason why moving cars should not normally turn on their hazard lights.
you never know if such a driver is following you...

so is that what hazard lights mean to you? "overtake me" ?

errr... which half of the road is missing? the hazard lights fail to say which.

in the two examples above, it would seem, that the hazard lights are suggesting two opposite courses of action... using the exactsame pair of flashing lights...
hmmm...

heh heh.

Light pollution IS a thing.

If thats your case, I suggest you have a brain scan , you may not be fit to drive. 3 to 4 sets of hazzard light is no different seeing 6 to 8 parallel cars with turn signals light ON.

The billboards lights are actually hundred times more annoying but have not heard of a single accident when a fleshy clip was shown in one of these billboards.

We are in the Philippine anything is possible, anykind of driver could be behind you, from a blind one to the one driving from the passenger seat.
The urge to pass is one of the symptomes of a druver with an anti-hzazard light sickness .

The lights perfectly tells you which part of the road is not missing.

Theres only one action, dont confuse yourself.

On another note, it would certainly be easier to distinguish proficient drivers from the rest, especially those who didn't read the LTO regulations on the use of such lights while the car is in motion.

Regulation ? Is this the one thats verbatimly copied from another country? The truth is the countries where that regulation was copied from have very strict laws and enforcement on the road worthiness of vehicles from the lights to the tint. Can you say the same exist in the Philippines? Lets start with your tint.

Eto mahirap sa Pinoy eh. Dami excuses kung mali ginagawa. Then we start pointing fingers at others for doing something else.

If other countries regulate that such actions are not in line with traffic safety, why would you do otherwise? It is just pathetic trying to defend a wrong practice in the first place.

Some people just do not know how to admit it when they are wrong.

Lets agree to disagree...

You're funny.

If you can't make an argument without resorting to insults, I think you will have to move along.... grownups are talking.

As I've said before, it is NOT impossible to drive in a sea of hazard lights. But it's also not pleasant, is very annoying and can mask real hazards/dangers.

The bright LED billboards are also annoying. I have mentioned that in another thread, with a video.

Also, turning on rear fog lamps in clear weather or having the wrong-colored tail lights.

My apologies, my post is not intended to sound like an insult. I tried to sound funny and direct though.
Your previous post caught my attention solely from the number (3-4 cars) hazzard lights that can cause discomfort to you. I found similiraity with the case of my previous driver who was later diagnose with a medical condition, hence my comment.

I only based my comments from the facts in your previous post. But since you retorted that a sea of hazzard lights not just 3-4 pair have the same annoyance to you then Im mistaken to compare that to my driver case.
