You don’t have hazard lights? You should check: you probably do, and you want to know where they are so you don’t spend a half hour searching for them when you need them.
I feel like this comment is a little obtuse. They are pretty clearly referring to the average car driving down the road. People don’t tend to drive with their hazards on unless there is…a hazard.
People do stop in the street and put in their hazards for various reasons, though. Legally or illegally, people stop in the street in front of businesses where there’s no parking and run in to get something; cars fail, or get flats. Especially with fender benders; even if there’s a shoulder, people justifiably put on their hazards. It may be less frequent than an emergency vehicle being in any given street at any given time, but in (US) metropolitan area it’s not uncommon.
Oops. Thanks for pointing this out! Strobe lights are a specific kind of flashing light, and flashing lights are what I meant.
My point still remains. Most vehicles don’t have flashing lights either.
My check engine light has been flashing for weeks
Turn signal?
Damn. You got me.
…that’s okay; some folks drive BMWs…
