    Or while in 100% legal parking spaces, when double parked, driving the speed limit in the rain etc.

    I swear people think that those magical flashing lights give them the power to do whatever they want.

    Looks like a illegal pass gone bad. It will be winter soon and the companies send them all the highway 11 .. shouldn’t be long and your drive will be peaceful again

    Copy that.

    No idea what happened in this one but I'm guessing more than one had to change their skivvies.

    I can't speak for anyone else, but if the rain is heavy enough for me to consider using my 4-ways, it's to make sure I'm as visible as possible. Don't want some ####### from some hole in the wall outfit to smack into me going faster than is even warranted on that road in DRY weather...

    Driving with your 4 ways on blinds the #### out of everyone else behind you on heavy rain if you have led tail lights. You can pretty much tell who is from here and who isn't by that when it rains lol. The signs above the highway even tell people not to turn their 4 ways on when it rains.

    Lucky me, then. I seem to always have Swift's rattiest old trailers, and always seem to have incandescent tail lights

    I never did that anyway, but my new trailer does have LEDs. I can’t remember the last time I was behind one in a hard rain.
