And if everyone thinks its a good idea to have them on when moving then genuine non moving hazards are likely to get ploughed into as people would be thinking they are moving.
I agree with you re the law....however, the bottom line is it does make you more visible when filtering, it works and has done for years, and if that improves my survival rate then will carry on using them.
As a note, if you're driving your car and you see the hazards of a car 2 cars ahead of you come on when you're cracking on a bit then you know to back off and get ready to brake. We also use hazards to say thanks when someone lets us out when in the car.
My safety comes first and foremost!
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
