I dont think it is a need to switch on hazard light. Hazard light is only for stopping on the road or emergency braking (activated by car automatically). If car is moving, why use hazard light? I rather see drivers use front/rear fog lights in heavy downpour than blinking hazard lights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp4wn Turbocharged July 5, 2013 Share July 5, 2013 not really, i've seen drivers use hazards to warn the guy behind, esp when there's severe ponding where your vehicle may pull to one side due to the sheer amount of water ... i've only ever done it once before, but only when the road conditions are extremely terrible ...

Thats alright and I've done it a few times, but the thing is moving and hazard light, it's really like Christmas... There are cars all over last night and I don't know how to change lane when a lot of cars are "hazarding" themselves.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckbuild 6th Gear July 5, 2013 Share July 5, 2013 To all drivers that love to turn on hazard light during heavy rain, when ever it rains, please look out for the same model car that you are driving, and see how bright your tail light is since it's the same car, and you will find that you don't need to turn on the hazard light. And also please take note, if your car come with rear fog lamp, use that instead of hazard light! Saw a Volvo and Epica turning hazard, what a joke man, turn on the rear fog lamp la!

To alert is alright to me, actually your car tail light is super bright, u got no worries on this Mine is extremely dim, I find the designer for Prius C tail light abit dumb... I observe thru observing others driving the same car during the night and in the rain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT I will never turn on hazard no matter what while driving so to the rest please spread the message, we are in SG, not MY NSHW.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic July 5, 2013 Share July 5, 2013 Saw a Volvo and Epica turning hazard, what a joke man, turn on the rear fog lamp la! often see those epica teksi drive around wif their rear fog lights on even during clear nights. blardy koteks.

When need to on, they don't, when don't need to on they do..... Rear fog lamp should be controlled electronically instead of mechanical off. Like the Berlingo that I drove before, the rear fog actually cancel itself once the driver turn off the engine electronically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altho I know it's common practice (and v irritating) in Msia and Indo. Best of all, if it's raining cats and dogs during daylight hours, they switch on their hazard lights instead of main headlights Makes things a bit interesting when trying to change lane and looking in the rear view mirrors to see if there are oncoming cars... rear foglamps... yeah I notice a lot of cars here in SG switch them on even during clear weather... I think most of these pple do not know/realise they have rear foglamps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky 2nd Gear July 5, 2013 Share July 5, 2013 During normal night, on rear fog lamp, during heavy rain on hazard light. All learn from Malaysia, if so worried, just go install rear fog lamp, but turn on only during bad weather. Used to drive the berlingo, it's quite A good design, every time you turn on the rear fog lamp, it will cancel itself when you off the headlight and have to turn it on again manually, all cars with rear fog lamp should be like this, so annoying. Sorry for off topic. Rear fog lamps are damn bright and irritating! It is like rear high beaming and can be confused with normal brake lights. Don't understand why is there a need to install or turn on such lights in singapore?!?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caravan 5th Gear July 5, 2013 Share July 5, 2013 SG expressways simply have too many entrances and exits, so lane changing is very common and necessary. Switching on hazard lights will not allow one to signal lane change intention properly. This is especially important to motorcycles as they tend to lane-split and ride faster while lane splitting. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
