Hazards lights ,what do they mean too you

it’s all two much four me.

et tu, Brute!

it means confusion in our yard…as some drivers drive around with their hazards on,and the rest of us don’t

What’s worse though,that or these tipper drivers that drive round with their orange beacons permantly on thinking they are the 4th emergency service■■?

red artics? :wink: :laughing:

And dozy mate, as much as a despise grammar nazism I can’t take this any more. All these toos are melting my brain :astonished: :astonished: :astonished:

Oh thank fxxk for that,thought I was the only one that was getting brain melt :neutral_face:

People are idiots, more at 11!

I found it confusing the first few times and then annoying that when in London car drivers feel it is appropriate to use hazards to thank you for letting them out etc. The first time I experienced this I hadn’t passed my car test long and I’m not a Londoner so first thought was hazard and hit the brakes.

Only experience up to that point was hazards being used on the motorway to warn of slow moving traffic ahead.

I find it really annoying as mentioned already when people are towing cars. Do they not realise that no one will be able to tell when they want to turn right!

AA and RAC Breakdown vans towing a Micra are worst offenders. What’s abnormal about a bloody Micra (except the blue rinse who thinks the NSL is 35mph)?

If they’re towing on a tow pole then using the beacons would be appropriate (especially as most drivers don’t have a clue how to be towed).
But if the vehicle is being towed on a dolly or spec-lift then it should be lit with a trailer board, so it is effectively a trailer so no need for the beacons.

The worst offenders seem to be some less reputable recovery companies who think that using the beacons on the van is a substitute for putting a lighting board on the vehicle being towed on a spec-lift. Or some scrap dealers who think they need the beacons on whenever they are carrying a vehicle on the back of a Transit flatbed.

What’s an R/O? Is that the bit before its a roll off or after the bit its a roll on? :wink:

That’s what brake lights are for.

LIBERTY_GUY:
Hazard lights = unquestionable right to park wherever you wish… :slight_smile:

Hazard lights on motorway = cancel plans for early finish. :angry:

'This, and I would also add ‘emergency pee in full flow…’

No, the function of brake lights (on a Motorway) is to tell following drivers that you are tailgating the vehicle in front of you.

ckm1981:
Was the highways agency vehicle blocking the left hand indicator on the rear of your trailer?
If so I will have looked like you were sat with your right hand indicator on.
I deliver to a lot of busy streets/roads and if there is a car parked in front or behind me I won’t use my hazards while I’m unloading because on coming traffic will only see one indicator flashing not both so they will think your waiting to pull out.

No I’d come down the slip road and was broken down at the give way line TOO the R/o ( round about) the high ways agency pickup had come round the R/0 and was parked to the front o/s of my cab so was in no- way obstructing anyone’s view of my rear hazard lights .
