Hazard Lights When Driving in the Rain

[shin_chan]

kung low/zero visibility, dapat mag slow down or better yet, hanap ng lugar kung san pwede mag park at mag hintay na mag improve yung situatiom.

hirap kasi dito satin, low visibility na. mag on pa ng hazard light tapos same way of driving pa rin. fast, weaving in and out of lanes. so nakakaconfuse sa ibang drivers which in turn leads to accidents.

Actually mali talaga na gumamit ng hazard light at any given situation kapag mababa ang visibility lalo na kapag may ulan at umaandar ang sasakyan. The light of the car should be on tulad ng pagdadrive kapag gabi na... ang mga taong gumagamit ng hazard kapag umaandar ang sasakyan ay nagpapatunay na kulang sila sa kaalaman sa pagmamaneho.....

Absolutely correct imoy.  Driving with other vehicles using hazard lights is uncomfortable and dangerous.  For one, the other drivers won't know the direction the vehicle with the hazard lights on is turning.

Sana nga ituro din to sa mga driving school or isama sa exam ng lto. Nakaka inis din talaga mga nag hhazard lalo na pag malakas yung ilan, hindi ata nila alam na di gagana yung turn signal lights pag ganun.

Lalo na yung mga motor sa expressway, naka perma hazard lights pero harabas pa pag overtake. 2x nako naka kita ng ganun na naaksidente, lalampasan ako ng high speed tapos pa ang likot sa lane, pero after a few minutes na lampasan ko nalang naka higa na, nabanga na ng suv.

usually kasi kapag sandstorm dito at biglang walang makita, on na yung hazard lights para ready to slow down na yung kasunod lalo freeway..
saka dapat punta sa slow lane kana para if ever super bagal ka o stop, walang problema pwede ka nila i-overtake..
minsan gamit ko din yan pag nasa main road walang traffic tapos biglang converging traffic na, para magslow din yung kasunod..

nasa tamang gamit naman siguro yan, hazardous time na kailangan ng pagiingat, dapat nasa isang lane ka mabagal lang takbo, kung mg-turn ka, alisin mo pagka-hazard then on turning lights..

ano ba una mong naiisip at gagawin pag nakakita ka ng nakahazard?

I also do open my hazard lights pag halos wala ng makita sa daan...
kasi halos lahat ng kasabayan ko sa road ganun ginagawa...

They're called hazard lights for a reason. Only if the situation poses danger or threat to you and others. Rain or even snow here in Canada are commonplace. I don't think you shouldn't be using them if you're mobile.

yah - dapat ang hazard lights e, para saken, kung disabled lang ang sasakyan mo sa gitna ng daan o disabled sya sa madilim na lugar. eniwey iba ibang bansa iba ibang kaugalian siguro. hmmm yung van ko gusto ko ngang palagyan ng fog lights e kse mahirap magmaneho sa fog. walang makita.

Kung ganyan ang ginagawa mo, panganib ka sa daan, sa sarili mo, sa sakay mo at sa ibang nagmamaneho.  Una, hindi alam ng mga kasabay mo sa kalsada kung saan ka liliko.  Low visibility na nga, mananantya pa sila.  Ikalawa, kung halos wala ka makita, anong tulong ang maidudulot ng hazard lights?  Kung walang makita, itabi ang sasakyan, buksan ang hazard lights sa tabi ng kalsada.

Hindi porke't ginagawa ng karamihan ay tama. 

Let us keep the roads safe.

^ yes i totally agree with sir bohica here... we use the hazard lights only when parked and having some emergency stops... we need to use the signal lights when turning left or right or for slightly changing lanes... we must educate ourselves properly in using those otherwise our lives are at the mercy of the incoming or upcoming vehicles... don't get offended just because you have been cautioned by telling you what was the right or proper usage of the hazard lights, this is our home and we intend to share and learn something from this... thanks guys for helping us all be safe in our streets... libreng aral ito at hindi kasali sa road user's tax hahahaha...

Pag ulan nde naman dapat naka on hazard light mo to let other motorist know about the road situation they should know na pag ulan you have to take precaution drive slow and pay attention whats  infront of you ..pagfog naman naka low beam,hazard lights is for emergency only well atleast yan natutunan ko dito lol imagine sa pinas magbayad ka Lang may drivers license ka na, dito nakerr take ka muna ng written exam may handbook pa na ibigay para nagstudy 80 points passing score then pag pumasa ka driving test naman may police nakasakay  kaya better be know the signs and signals lalo na the use of lights in every situation or else you failed and need more warm up and come back in 3 weeks or untill you get it right lol..

Hazard lights must be turned on during rain or visibility is low to alert any vehicles

To alert of what?  If you want to be seen turn on your tail lights.

Hazard lights should only be turned on if help is required.

Turning your hazards on makes all four turn signals flash at the same time, giving a heads-up to emergency crews that there’s a traffic hazard or problem. Bad idea.
