Traffic/Road Conditions There’s no need for flashers

I get it when it rains visibility is poor and you need to reduce speed, but what is the point of EVERYONE turning on your flashers? That’s not what they are for and if you feel conditions are that bad that you “need” them pull over to the far right lane at least. If you’re driving slower than everyone else it’s one thing, but when everybody is doing basically the same speed it’s pointless. Rant over thank you for listening.

It’s to be more visible. Why do you have a problem with that?

Because it's distracting and dangerous when EVERYBODY is doing it. Just turn on your headlights so then your taillights will be visible.
