Before I was pro "turning on" of hazards light during heavy downpour, but seeing a lot of irresponsible drivers changing lanes with their hazards on made me realize how much more dangerous they have made the roads.

Im still not totally against "turning on" the hazard lights, but when turning, I beg to dis-agree with this practice.

At yung iba sobrang OA, umambon lang ng konti e naka-hazard na!

siguro kung naka-hazard sila at kailangan nila lumiko or change lane, turn-off muna nila hazard lights ilang meters bago lumiko para makapag-signal sa direction na lilikuan. para sakin ok lang gumamit ng hazard lights kung para sa ano man purpose gusto nila, pero never dapat sila lumiko or mag-change lane ng hindi nag-si-signal, diyan pwede maka-aksidente especially sa mga highways.

Yun ang problema sa mga naghahazard, yung iba alam lang pumindot pero nakakalimutan mag-isip kung tama o mali ang ginagawa, makakabuti ba o makakasama. Isip-isip...

the only time i turn my hazard lights on are

parked momentarily in a busy street
car trouble
when bringing somebody to the emergency room (nakaheadlights pa nga at busina)

How about those who use their hazard lights during fun runs? Is it really that necessary?

It is not and never is unless they are an obstruction on the road. It's important also that they use their signal lights so the car ahead can signal it's intentions.

meron din iba kahit light na ambon lang nag ha-hazard na eh.

Just like the other day on SLEX I was in the middle lane and an over-zealous motorist two car lengths in front of me in the over-taking lane switched his hazards on the moment it started to rain. In a few seconds, he hit his brakes to slow down and started drifting to the right to exit! I nearly rear-ended him! If he had his hazards OFF and his right turn-signals ON to communicate his intention to switch lanes, he would have lessend the risk of being rear-ended and lessened the risk of a possible multiple collision.

So guys, please use your hazards only when your vehicle is not in motion. It's both confusing and dangerous when you turn them on during inclement weather! Just turn your headlights on please...

the problem with most drivers...hindi marunong gumamit ng signal light!!!

pano ba naman kasi, kapag may nagsisignal, bumibilis at nanggitgit yung nasa likod. parang mauubusan ng daan at inaagawan

badtrip yan! kaya umiiwas ako sa mga closed vans. kadalasan gawain nila yan tapis titignan ka lang habang suot yung fake wayfarers o mc arthur's nila.
bigla na lang mag-swerve ng walang pakundangan.
o kaya naman yung iba bigla na lang mag-signal pag andyan na yung kanto, mapapakabig ka tuloy.

Alam ko standard na rin yan sa "convoy" vehicles, or common practice na sa serries of vehicles that are travelling together!

Very poor visibility on the SCTEX yesterday but people still elected to use their hazard lamps instead of their headlamps.

I was overtaking an Adventure with a CR-V behind it. They were on the slow lane, I was in the fast lane. When I was closing in, BOOM, the CR-V just pulled right in front of me without signalling (because the flashers were on).

I think the Adventure noticed this because he turned his hazards off and just maintained use of his right side turn signal. Probably to mean that he has no intention to move into the next lane. Weather was really bad. Couldn't even read their license plates.

So, your idea of circumventing a wrong action is to do another wrong action?

Oo, maraming bastos na icucut ka when you signal to change lanes. But in electing not to use your turn signals, you're as much a prick as they are.

Nagparang Christmas yung NLEX on Friday night because of those using their hazard lights. Quite confusing as there were some incidents of cars getting cut off as well.

[Ponkan]

malakas ulan sa NLEX kagabi mula balintawak toll gate hanggan malinta, un sa unahan ko avanza nag-hazard lights, medyo visible pa naman despite ng malakas un ulan bilisan lang sana nya un setting ng wiper, di ko lang napansin kung heavy tint sya kaya nag-hazard at mahirap na makita nya un labas:D

[crazy_boy]

Sa slex kanina ganun din. Puro naka hazaed light. Ang masama pa diyan, marami nakababad sa over-taking lane. At ayaw magpadaan.

[Retz]

those using inapproriate hazard light should re-take the driver license test.

jut703, did i say do this? i dont recall saying that.

when did venting out ever become a confession? i ALWAYS use my signal lights even if it is extremely frustrating when people suddenly increase their speed when i signal.

using my signal lamps probably helped in my staying accident free even after 12 years of daily driving.

btw, making wrong assumptions before posting makes you a prick.
