Well my view may be that they (the hazards people) are doing that to be seen. Because A: they can't see so they feel that others can't see them, or B: it may act like an intermittant fog lights so they can see... off & on. They don't realize that it interferes with other drivers' vision.
and that my friend is why people should turn on their(there? i really hate the 3 theres) lights on =p
plus, i always turn on my lights when i get in my truck, its just a habit.........besides people can see me better when i do =)

Just did this today in torrential rains. It was drizzling then BAM, a wall of rain. It's helpful because the people that are in the drizzle don't realize you're slowing down until they're 3.14" from your rear bumper. When I see hazards in front of me, I know they're driving through some nasty stuff and had to slow down. Therefore, I slow down, too.

I usually notice the brake lights of people slowing down in front of me at least 3.15" before I hit their bumper. lol
I agree that its a good signal initially but when people start changing lanes without any notice because both sides are allready blinking it becomes dangerous and its still illegal here.
