Is it just me seeing dashcam vids usually american or Canadian, where cars are having to slam their brakes on for whatever reason, but they don't bother to flash their hazard lights AT ALL to warn the fast approaching traffic, especially on freeways??
I just saw a clip, night time on a freeway, a car up in the distance touches its brakes momentarily but then carries on, 2 seconds later the cam car hits a wheelbarrow in the middle of the lane!
If it had been myself (and I'm sure I don't just speak for me) I'd have been able to take much more care on approach, to avoid said wheelbarrow, if the car in the distance had given a few flashes of the hazard lights as they'd passed the wheelbarrow!!
If ever I come across a hazard on the road that someone could easily miss I ALWAYS give my hazards a few flashes, I can't get my head around the fact so many don't
