i think it should just be a thing everyone should do, you are more likely to see someone who has their lights on vs a person who doesnt

and with most drivers nowadays visibility is a great thing

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.

Yeah I have no problem with parking or running lights that is safer for sure.
I keep my lights on the auto setting and in that kind of rain they stay on.
