hazard light

[Noel Salisipan]

Siguro ok din yan sa may ari, nakaka-intriga. Sa looks, unless makita ko sa personal baka magustuhan ko, o baka nakakairita lang din.

Pero ang problema ay yung mga lumang sasakyan na halos kainin na rin ng "dumi" at "kupas" yung mga tail lights na halos di na rin maaninag yung ilaw kung naka-ilaw ba o hindi!

for me, ok lang mag hazard pag heavy rain. one time inabot kami ng matinding ulan, though hindi ako naka-hazard, mas nadalian ako makita ibang sasakyan na nag-bagal and nakahinto kasi naka on hazard nila. kaya nag hazard na din ako para at least maging visible din ako sa ibang sasakyan na baka hirap din makita ibang sasakyan.

Mahirap mag-hazard kasi yung signalling capacity mo mawawala. Tama na yung naka-on ang HL's mo or fogs if umaga pa.

from what my eyes can see.. the visibility of yellow lights and red lights are about the same.. so when its raining i just turn my park lights on.. and fog lights.. and in really bad weather turn my headlights on.. so that i can still use my signal lights to communicate to other drivers my intention to either turn left or right..

Just like the other day on SLEX I was in the middle lane and an over-zealous motorist two car lengths in front of me in the over-taking lane switched his hazards on the moment it started to rain. In a few seconds, he hit his brakes to slow down and started drifting to the right to exit! I nearly rear-ended him! If he had his hazards OFF and his right turn-signals ON to communicate his intention to switch lanes, he would have lessend the risk of being rear-ended and lessened the risk of a possible multiple collision.

So guys, please use your hazards only when your vehicle is not in motion. It's both confusing and dangerous when you turn them on during inclement weather! Just turn your headlights on please...

Same here, in bad weather where visibility is reduced, I just turn on my park lights and foglights (or my headlights too if it's that bad).

I never use my hazard lights when driving unless my car is stationary.

Thank you for the link. Very informative and timely.

My case rests.

I use my hazard lights when Im parking just to let the incoming traffic know im doing maniobra. I also use it if I need to make an unexpected stop on the side of a street.

I do not use my hazard lights though during rains, IMHO, turning on the car's headlamp is much safer and should do the job.

check niyo rin signals niyo kung hindi pa pundido.
baka pag naka-hazard kayo akalain ng mga tao kakanan o kakaliwa kayo.
ilang beses nako napepeke ng mga ganyan, pinagbibigyan ko pa naman, antay tuloy ako ng antay, nakaparada lang pala. inis!

Before I was pro "turning on" of hazards light during heavy downpour, but seeing a lot of irresponsible drivers changing lanes with their hazards on made me realize how much more dangerous they have made the roads.
