    The hazards also override your turn signals so I now have no idea when you are going to attempt lane change.

      The hazards are to indicate you are stopped and now a hazard.

      Only when you are stopped and now a hazard. Your car becomes a blinking light. We have road rules for blinking lights, so it SHOULD be saying one specific thing.

      Thank you for coming to this road safety talk.

        and honestly i have the same problem with that intended use. it often looks like a stopped car is attempting to turn out into traffic. IMO emergency lights should have a faster blink pattern or something to differentiate from turn signals.

          Faster blink is already used to indicate that one of the lights is burned out. It’s a consequence of the mechanical part that operates (used to operate) the blinking; less resistance caused by a burned out light means it blinks faster

        They also indicate slow moving road hazards like a semi carrying an oversized load
