    Flashers in the rain

    While we are talking driving in the rain

    Flashers - Yes or No

    Just made it legal here in Florida.

    I think is it stupid.

    blinding and throws off depth perception.

    No. Unless it's raining very very hard I think it's unnecessary.

    Most people don't use their turn signals much less their flashers.

    i wish it was more like that here. I can’t stand the guys in trucks that have aftermarket lights and end up blinding everyone because they don’t turn them down.

    The only time people put flashers on when it’s raining is if it’s down pouring and you can only go like 30mph on the thruway.

    A friend of mine pulled of the road on 85 in a bad storm and turned hers on. She got hit in the rear end and killed being safe.

    No. As long as you have your lights on you don’t need flashers.

    There was a women that I occasionally had to drive near on the way to work. Any time she was in any situation that was a little congested she would turn her flashers on. It was very annoying to be driving near her. I mean she would do this driving down the interstate. Then after getting off of the interstate into some stop and go stuff, the flashers would be on. It's like WTF, if you are that scared just get the hell off of the road.
