Hazard warnings ?

[z1000]

Personally I think they should be banned , I mean , if you're pulling over to the left , you indicate left , if you're pulling over to the right you indicate right , but if you're a van driver you them both on at the same time ? you tw@ts :furious: end rant :)

They are to indicate to other that you are parking illegally

Yeah , "Watch out , I'm about to create a hazard"

It's always nice that you can only see one indicator and think they are about to pull out on you before you get close enough to see the other one

That's the signal for "I'm about to drive through a huge bandsaw".

Token fact - its supposedly illegal to use hazard flashers on the move. This ties in nicely with the 'if you see a hazard ahead on the motorway use your hazards to warn drivers behind you' bit in the highway code.

Or the time when my x1/9 decided its lights would be intermittent. No safe places to stop, so had to keep going with the hazards on. great fun in the dark.

Let us not forget that certain french cars will flash the hazard lights for you if the ABS cuts in, which on certain roads is illegal
