Comment on You know how fire trucks, ambulances, and cars all have strobe lights? Well, if you add up those lights, street by street, there is a single street on earth that has the most strobe lights.

    That’s good, though. It’s when it turns off that you got to worry.

      Funny, but I just barely know enough about cars so for anyone who knows less than me:

      Blinking is when you worry.

  You don’t have hazard lights? You should check: you probably do, and you want to know where they are so you don’t spend a half hour searching for them when you need them.

    I feel like this comment is a little obtuse. They are pretty clearly referring to the average car driving down the road. People don’t tend to drive with their hazards on unless there is…a hazard.

      People do stop in the street and put in their hazards for various reasons, though. Legally or illegally, people stop in the street in front of businesses where there’s no parking and run in to get something; cars fail, or get flats. Especially with fender benders; even if there’s a shoulder, people justifiably put on their hazards. It may be less frequent than an emergency vehicle being in any given street at any given time, but in (US) metropolitan area it’s not uncommon.

        I’m not saying it never happens, I’m saying you misinterpreted what the original commenter was clearly referencing—how the average car appears on The Strip.

  Well ackshually… LED headlights are technically flashing lights, they just flash rapidly enough to appear static.
