Ya think it might have something to do with warning about a hazard on the roadside? lol no really! actually they are what you put on to warn other drivers that YOU are a hazard on the roadside due to an accident or breakdown or stationary queueing traffic or any other danger, ie a hazard. In the UK, hazard lights should be used on single carriageway roads to warn other drivers that your vehicle is a hazard, on a dual carriageway or motorway, they should be used to warn other drivers of any hazard.
True
In the state of Arizona cars should be sold with working hazard lights, but there is not a law stating that if the car is sold without them that it is illegal.
There may be a problem with your electrical wiring that is preventing your hazard lights from turning off. You should take your car to a Toyota mechanic.
I do, but my kids tell me I'm wrong. I think it lets others see that I am backing out and turning in that direction as indicated.Added: There is no specific law againstit that I am aware of - however your back-up lights should serve the same warning purpose to oncoming traffic. Don't let the fact that you have your flashers operating lull you into a false sense of security. It is always incumbent on the driver of the backing vehicle to yield to any oncoming or conflicting traffic.

Hazard lights should only be used when your car is stopped or coming to a stop. Using them while you are actually still driving can be dangerous. Other drivers will be unable to tell if you are going to change lanes or get off the road because your turn signals or 'blinkers' will not work when your hazard lights are on.
Both of you are probably at fault. If you see another person backing you should stop and signal the other driver if possible. Otherwise stop and wait until that driver completes his backing maneuver.Added: It is the obligation of the backing driver to ascertain that his movement does not interfere with any other vehicles. In this instance, you both apparently failed to do so.
