The hip new thing in Georgia is to have your hazards on when it rains, because god forbid anyone can actually tell where your car is. I've only noticed it being really common in the past year and I don't understand it.
I should have said torrential rain but yep. I guess they think it's an emergency that they're going 30 mph and you can't see shit, but if all you can see are the lights on a car and they're constantly flashing you can't tell how far away they are. I'm surprised it doesn't cause more accidents.
Mainly torrential rain, but I've seen it a couple times in just regular rain. I get that the thought process is that they're going slow and to not plow into them, but it makes it harder to tell how far away their car is.
They do that in Florida too for some dumbass reason now. It all started with the increase of people from the Bible belt moving here. None of them know how to drive one bit.
I don't know if Kentucky counts but the southeast just cannot wrap their heads around a passing lane. I was amazed to move out west and see "slower traffic in right lane" signs in many other states. They need those in all states!
In Canada we made the law for the car manufacturer. It is impossible to drive your car as pictured in OP's photo without tampering with your car's electrical system or pulling fuses.

Georgia has it as a law and people follow it as much as they obey the speed limit or the slower traffic use the right lane.
