BUS accident again

[oj88]

The time gap from pressing that brake to a complete stop is not going to be instantaneous.
That hazzard light will be flashing for considerable time.

Stopping time for most light to light-medium vehicles from 100kph to 0 is around 5 or 6 seconds, give or take, depending on road conditions. The flashers would only stay for that long or maybe until you've let go of the brake pedal. But let's just say 10 seconds total. That's not considerable, IMO.

If you stomp on the brakes under emergency conditions, it won't take long to slow down to a more manageable speed (enough to release the brakes) or even come to a halt.

You can safely flip the turn signal with one finger unlike the hazzard light which will require your entire right hand to reach the hazzard button.

I agree on the 2nd one..... that's the main reason it's being integrated into the vehicle safety features so it's one less thing for drivers to worry about. However, the first one is highly debatable. The operative word is "emergency". The driver's first instinct is to stop the vehicle and/or swerve to avoid an obstacle or collision. Flipping on the turn signal stalk is typically not up there on the top list of things to do in an emergency.
