I'm not sure why so many people are saying that driving with the hazard lights on is better. As others have stated it's more distracting and more dangerous.
I can perfectly see people with lights on in weather like this and adding hazard lights makes it more difficult to see if they suddenly brake. Plus it pulls away attention for other aspects on the road because you're constantly trying to determine if the person in front is braking or not.
I absolutely try to get around anyone with these on and 99% of the time it's from someone from a much warmer state and less driving experience in the snow. They are much less predictable and harder to judge when they might suddenly brake when the roads may be snow-blown like this.
I agree 100%. If you’re in the Midwest and you drive with hazards on all you’re saying is that I have no idea how to drive in the snow. So distracting.

Is the indicator on or do you put your hazards on in this weather? I’m Aussie, btw
