Here in Central Ohio we had our second occurrence of snow that accumulated on the roads last night. For whatever reason, the snow plows didn't stay on top of things and the freeways were pretty dicey until this morning.
But while driving last night and tonight coming to work there was the occasional car driving along with their hazzard lights (flashers) on which confuses all the surrounding drivers and created a danger. Because people don't know why they have their hazzards on and are afraid to pass. In America, you really are only supposed to use your flashers if your car is broken down on the side of the road or you need to quickly pull over if you have a flat tire, for example. Semi trucks use them occasionally but they have good reason to. Passenger cars don't.
Yes, we all know the roads are bad. Turning your flashers on while driving in rain or icy weather only creates more issues to the people around you. Please stop doing this.
Thank you for your time, this is the end of my rant. Merry Christmas
