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.

Hazard lights should be used if a vehicle is pulled over on the side of the road. If a vehicle is going slow when pulling something behind them, hazard lights should also be used.
