Can You Turn on Hazard Lights While Driving in Heavy Rain?

[DiAshley]

Vehicle hazard lights should only be turned on in emergency situations. Permissible scenarios for using hazard lights: 1. Vehicle convoys authorized by relevant authorities. 2. Vehicles experiencing breakdowns on highways. 3. Extremely poor weather conditions with visibility less than 100 meters. 4. Vehicles with issues parked roadside awaiting towing—both the tow truck and the disabled vehicle should activate their hazard lights. Additional notes on hazard light usage: Therefore, during regular heavy rain conditions, if visibility hasn't dropped to that critical level, there's no need to use hazard lights. Activating them unnecessarily constitutes a traffic violation. While receiving penalties is secondary, the more crucial concern is the driver's safety.
