That's why you should always hit the hazard lights when you do any type of panic or hard braking.

Although you didn't use a smiley, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this post was made in jest. I'm sure you know that your hazards aren't blinking when you brake pedal is pressed.

I'd like to assume that Jinster's comment was made in jest too but somehow I don't think it was, so I'll have to concur with Haz on that one.

To be honest I didn't even think about the hazards not blinking with Brakes.

My knee jerk reaction to ekam was in an emergency braking situation, how the hell could anyone even think fast enough to reach up and hit the hazards.
Maybe if you can snatch flies out of the air with chop sticks
In a highway slowdown situation that makes sense.

I typically, in highway hard braking, pump my brakes a bit, not for traction but to make my brake light flash for attention behind me
