It's always been my understanding that it's never legal to drive with hazard lights on (in fact, on some reality police shows they'll show people get pulled over for that). I thought hazards are for when a vehicle is disabled either in traffic or on the shoulder if persons continue to be around it. And, as a personal side, they're not for allowing persons to park or stand in front of stores where there are no parking zones.
In Florida, it's legal to use hazard lights when your vehicle is disabled or when you are parked or stopped in an emergency situation. You may also use them when driving at a reduced speed due to hazardous conditions, but only when necessary for safety. However, using hazard lights while driving in normal conditions is generally discouraged and may even be illegal, as it can confuse other drivers. Always check local laws for specific regulations.
To turn off the hazard lights on a 2016 Ford Focus, locate the hazard light switch, which is typically found on the center console, marked by a triangle symbol. Press the switch once, and the indicator lights on the dashboard should turn off, along with the exterior hazard lights. If the lights do not turn off, ensure that the vehicle is in the "On" or "Run" position while pressing the switch.
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.

Hazard lights typically do not come on when using a turn signal; they operate independently. However, in some vehicles, there may be a malfunction or a design feature that causes both to activate simultaneously, which can be confusing. The turn signal is meant to indicate a specific direction, while hazard lights signal a general warning to other drivers. If both activate together, it's advisable to check the vehicle's electrical system or consult the owner's manual.
In a 2006 Honda Odyssey, the hazard light switch is located on the dashboard, near the center console. It is typically a red button marked with a triangular symbol. You can easily access it while driving, allowing you to quickly activate the hazard lights in case of an emergency.
