Seriously? So pag nasiraan ka and you're on the shoulder, iwanan mo na lang yung kotse mong nakatiwangwang instead of putting on your hazard lights kasi mas makaka-attract ng ibang drivers yun? In the first place, they shouldn't even be driving on shoulders to pass other vehicles.

Oh well, the debate with using hazard lights while driving here is a bit pointless because technically, hindi siya bawal. There's no fine imposed for doing so. Personally, I am against it, i find it unnecessary and some drivers feel that when turn on their hazard lights, it gives them a "license" to drive recklessly (e.g. counterflow pag may "emergency", cut people off, etc.). Yung "hazard" becomes a version of "wangwang" sa mga wala nito.

Pag sa expressway naman at minimal visibility, to me it's a signal to other drivers that you don't know what to do kaya hazard na lang (so drive behind or past this car at your own risk). I guess to each his/her own na nga lang kasi wala naman rules dito sa bansang ito.

On a foggy day or downpour with almost ZERO visibility its not advised to use the Hazard, use your regular lights or fog lights.
Specially kung hihinto ka sa gilid ng kalsada (meaning sa emergency/shoulder lane all the way sa right) kasi according to studies mas sumusunod ang driver sa nakikita nila kesa sa hindi nakikita nila, so if they saw a light specific of a car doon sila pupunta lalo na sa expressway driving, kaya kung naka HAZARD ka and naka park ka sa gilid ng daan BOOM mabubuluga ibang driver kasi susundan light mo and nakahinto ka pala.

Now for using HAZARD sa expressway, we know that minimum speed sa expressway natin ay 60KPH, you activate your HAZARD if you are traveling below that speed to alert drivers or on any other cases if you are broken down.

BTW mag aalis lang ng sama ng LOOB, NAKAKAINIS LANG TALAGA YUNG MGA DRIVER NA GALING SA INTERSECTION TAPOS KAKANAN TO MERGE ON YOUR LANE TAPOS SASAKUPIN 2 OR 3 LANES COMING FROM AN INTERSECTION. KAKAPIKON AKALA SILA LANG ANAK NG DIYOS KAYA SASAKUPIN LAHAT NG LINYA PARA LANG KUMANAN SILA, TAPOS ANG MERGING SPEED 10KPH.
