Topic: 4 way flasher

[tenpenny]

I think they're called 4 way flashers because they're at all 4 corners of the vehicle.

This poll would ske more sense if you could select multiple options...

I've only known them as "Hazard lights" (four-way flasher makes no sense to me at all, especially now there are at least 6 of them on each car).
I use them to indicate hazards, whether there is one on the road (slow cars ahead, treee across the road, etc), of if I am the hazard at the time (ie: my busted-a@# car broke down, I done #####ked up, or I'm driving like a nanny because I'm a wuss)
I was under the impression it was illegal to use them for any other purpose.

You are in Canada now, get with the program 

I've only known them as hazards too and I've alway lived here.

But I've only lived here for the past 20 years.  The first 30 years were in Ontaro.  Even lived in Port Hope for a few years.   All us ten test olds called them hazards back them

I grew up in St. John's NL calling them hazard lights.  I use them when:

- there is a trouble with the car
- I need to drive slower than road speed
- I pull over to pick someone up/drop them off
- need to significant slow down because of weather conditions - heavy fog, white out snow, torrential downpour - mostly things that reduce visibility
- pull over to side of road/shoulder to use cell phone.

If you lived in Port Hope , you do not need 4 ways , you Have a glow all the time

In addition to short or unplanned stops where it would not normally be allowed,  I've used them a few times in near zero visibility conditions, both in snow and rain storms.  The difference in being aware of a vehicle with a changing light pattern and a steady one (or none in the case of morons) is enormous in bad weather.

- short stops/loading the car... don't do it often, but i'll use them then...

- totally with jamie. i flash them once as a thanks, only for trucks (can't see a wave down low and my cars generally have the "lane change" function on the signal stalk). other vehicles just get a wave.

- if the weather is brutal and i'm going slow, i'll throw em on. but that doesn't happen all that often. i'm usually one of the faster ones on any road in any condition because i'm kind of dumb and suffer from go-kart syndrome.


that's pretty much it. well, if i have any car problems i guess as well, but that has happened once in my life.

[Fobroader]

Low visibility, I am actually having a problem and thank you to vehicles behind me, those are the only times I use the hazard lights.

007 had his flashers on steady yesterday....warning...hooligans approaching
