  and on the opposite side people who turn on their emergency lights in somewhat bad rain. you’re not helping and only cause more confusion by making it seem like you have turn signals on if i can’t see both blinkers.

    The hazards also override your blinkers so I now have no idea when you are going to attempt lane change.

      The hazards are to indicate you are stopped and now a hazard.

      Only when you are stopped and now a hazard.

      Thank you for coming to this road safety talk.

        They also indicate slow moving road hazards like a semi carrying an oversized load

        and honestly i have the same problem with that intended use. it often looks like a stopped car is attempting to turn out into traffic. IMO emergency lights should have a faster blink pattern or something to differentiate from turn signals.

    Thats more an issue of using the same lamp for rear lights and turn signal

  Rear fog lights on all vehicles (some vehicles have them now).

    it’s forbidden to use rear fog lights under rain (it’s more confusing than helpful)

    if you live somewhere dry, that’s not a concern. But here it rains 1 day in 3

      I don’t know where you are but rear fogs aren’t illegal in the rain here and from experience they are nothing but helpful in heavy rain. I am always so so sooo glad when someone in front of me is using them when it’s absolutely pouring.

        II. - Le ou les feux arrière de brouillard ne peuvent être utilisés qu’en cas de brouillard ou de chute de neige. ☞ www.legifrance.gouv.fr/…/LEGIARTI000006842263

        Feux de brouillard arrière : ils sont indiqués uniquement en cas de brouillard ou de chute de neige (mais jamais sous la pluie en raison de leur trop grande intensité) ☞ …codesrousseau.fr/…/909-feux-de-brouillard-avant-…

    Yes that as well, I love mine and use them a lot. But that’s a step above rear running lights. There’s no god damn reasons the rear indicators shouldn’t be on all the time.

  It used to be mandatory with always on rear lights in Sweden (you couldn’t even turn them off). But an adaptation to EU rules removed that requirement. 😓
