    Imagine naging kasanayan na nga yan, heavy downpour. From afar how can you distinguish yung naka hinto due to emergency in the middle with their hazard blinking

    dun sa gaya mo na driving with hazards on? Delikado diba.

    Huwag mo na ipilit yun mali.

    Sadly in the Philippines, our roads are still littered with people who think only for themselves and have no care whatsoever for other motorists. It’s the same for those idiots hogging the leftmost lane and driving leisurely.

    Simple rule, if you can’t drive properly in poor weather then don’t even bother rather than be a hazard for others. The same applies for dimwits driving drunk on the road.

Now if there's one cowboy who sped up during heavy downpour and low visibility, again having hazards on or just mere parking lights won't be much of a factor. But I'm pretty sure I'd still be more visible having my hazard lights on for that cowboy.

    i beg to dis-agree.

    years ago, hazard lights in poor visibility driving situations was common.
    nowadays, thanks perhaps to tsikot, topgear, and other motorist-education-oriented channels, it is now a much-less-common sight.
    so, when i now see one, my thoughts will be, "it must be a sean-archer".

    smoke, fog, rain or poor visibility?
    the right thing to do is to slow down but keep going, not turn on the hazardous lights.
    or, as shadow says, pull over and park at a safe area, and turn your hazard lights on.
    motoring journalists agree.

    Saka ang isa pang nabawasan na yun nag tailgate sa ambulance during traffic. Natuto na rin kahit papano mga Pinoy drivers.

    one almost sideswiped me a couple of months ago one night, in northbound slex.
    the dark-colored adventure was following the ambulancia's zipper, and we almost hit it, as the zipper was closing after the ambulance had passed...
    "sino ba yang *#$%^&!!! na 'yan?"

    Blinking lights draw unnecessary attention, and hinders a driver's ability to quickly determine the vehicle's speed because the light source isn't constant.

    So nakikita ka nga, pero hindi maanticipate ng oncoming driver kung gaano kabilis takbo mo, kung liliko ka, o kung pumipreno ka na pala.

    Having your headlamps and tail lamps on is enough to provide visibility in the rain. If you have rear fog lamps, they're useful in very heavy downpour (but should be turned off any other time).

    Hazards-while-driving is as misguided as flat-earth and anti-vax.

    That's what I like about pinoys. Mas magagaling pa sa mga car designers and engineers. Akalain mo mas alam pa nila na hinde sila visible at kailangan pa gumamit ng hazard sa ulan.

Use your Hazard Lights as "thank you" or "sorry".
