Why I Always Flash My Hazards in Sudden Traffic Jams

Ever been cruising down the highway, only to slam on the brakes when traffic suddenly stops? I’ve been there more times than I can count. Early on, I’d just hope the driver behind me was paying attention. But after a few too many close calls—like seeing someone nearly kiss my bumper—I picked up a trick from truckers: flashing my hazard lights as I brake hard. It’s made a real difference. Drivers behind me seem to react quicker, and those scary near-misses have dropped off. It’s a simple habit, but it could save you a lot of stress (and maybe your car!). Have you tried this?
