Driving in the rain?

Don’t Use Hazard Lights

Hazard lights are indicators used to warn other drivers of danger or an emergency. Georgia’s rain can be heavy at times and make for dangerous driving conditions. However, this doesn’t mean you should turn your hazard lights on. Know WHEN, and when NOT to use your hazard lights.

Do NOT use hazard lights because:

• It can be distracting to other drivers.

• It’s hard to tell if a car is stopped or in motion on the roadway.

• Turning on your hazard lights will disable your ability to use turn signals. This makes it especially dangerous for other motorists driving around you.

If you feel the need to turn your hazard lights on when driving in the rain, it’s best to wait until the storm has passed and drive in higher visibility environments.
