Did anyone stop to think maybe he had them flashing because he didnt want other cars(the ones that where not racing) to pull in front of him while they where racing?
They where racing at night and its easy to mis-judge what lane a set of headlights are in so if ur hazard lights are flashing while ur doing 100+ mph down the road people in front of u are less likely to jump into ur lane at the last second causing a fatal accident.

If I remember that video was taking from inside the car so how do u know it was even him? Also he didnt do it on every race only the ones he was leading in like I said its not a bad idea when you consider the fact that someone may not see you flying up behind them at 100+ people need to stop being jealous lol.

My point is, if im on the road at night and I see lights flashing behind me, something that anyone will notice that has ever been pulled over or had an ambulance fly past them in their life time. Im less likely to pull over into their lane and get hit by one of them with there hazards flashing because the moment I see them I realize something is wrong and he is speeding. Now granted these lights are not intended to be use so you can street race at night and I dont street race at night anyways because its just an awful idea, a couple was killed walking down a dark road few months back, just a town over from where I live. Two old school muscle cars where drag racing down the road and since it was night time they couldnt see the people on the side of the road, and Im guessing the people didnt pay it much attention however had they been racing with there hazards on I bet that couple would have noticed them and still be alive.

dude, your losing this debate really bad right now.........im just saying............NO ONE, not even NORMAL driving ppl will use their damn flashers UNLESS there is something wrong with their car causing them to go slower than the posted speed limit or pulled off on the side of the road. hence why the are called HAZARD LIGHTS! i really hope you are just doing this to be a pain in the ass and not actually backing this up seriously.........cuz if you are seriously trying to support this argument.......something is wrong with that picture. lets be honest here.......

Iv known people to use there hazard lights when speeding up because they are rushing to the hospital with a pregnant woman, this helps people to understand they need to stay out of the way. Iv not lost this debate at all iv given tons of reason why it is a good reason to do it, and Iv yet to see one good reason why not too.

good reasons??? you think hazard lights are going to make a difference for a car doing over 100mph?? with headlights that work just fine..........ur crazy. and i have NEVER seen or heard of anyone using freakin hazards for rushing somewhere, where the hell do you live at.......seems like things are done a little ass backwards out there....

Well considering he did it every single time(except like 2 races) he won and didnt when he lost and the fact there was no traffic in front of him...i highly doubt he was using them to let other drives know he was speeding. lmao. I'm just laughing because he does it before he even changed out of the gear he started in. Its like the race starts at 60mph, at 65mph he is ahead by 2 inches "oh yea! i won, gotta put the 4 ways on to show everyone I won" He is a douchebag and has no where near 376hp.

I never said he wasnt doing it to be a douchebag, I said maybe he was doing it since he was leading in the race so if someone was to get in the way he would be the first to hit them. None of us really know why he did it because I dont remember seeing him in the video saying why he did it.

If it was a thing of warning other drivers that people are driving at excessive speeds...wouldn't the other driver be doing the same?
Don't see the point in defending the evo driver when we know exactly what he was doing

even if he did use his 4 ways to warn people...you honestly think that would work. A person see's a set of headlights with their hazards flashing "oh ****, this guy is street racing and doing 100+mph and coming at me. I better move out of the way so he doesnt hit me while he is illegally racing on the streets" ****. i guess all those innocent people that get killed because of street racing, they could still be alive if the racers used their 4 ways. They should make a new law now. Street racing is legal if you use your hazard lights.

Thats like saying you went out for the day and no one home except your dog. You find a big pile of **** and **** on the carpet but cant say it was the dog because you didnt see him do it. We all know why he put his 4 ways on and it had nothing to do with traffic since there was none around him and the fact he hits his 4 ways only when is winning, whether its by 2 inches or 2 car lengths. The dude is a tipical ricer douchebag. I'm embarrassed that he is driving a Evo.

you guys might as well stop wasting you're breath with this dude cuz even with EVERYONE on here going against his statement, that has no logic to begin with, he is still just going to repeat the same thing. HAZARDS WOULDNT SAVE ANYONES FREAKING LIFE GENIUS! ppl do not assume of some ******* doing over 100 while their hazards on! when hazards are on people assume something is wrong with their car or they are pulling over! and dont go back to the emergency vehicle bullshit, THEY HAVE SIRENS! hence why they can haul ass more, you dont only have to depend on seeing them in the rear view......YOU CAN HEAR THEM COMING! you're logic absolutely sucks and even with everyone else basically telling you otherwise, you still sit here and argue that you make sense.........
