    Some people get intimidated by a tiny bit of weather. I’ve seen people with there hazards on when its icy out.

      Around here people use them a lot when they start hitting traffic backups and slowing down, as well as when they hit a slippery patch, to alert other drivers to upcoming conditions.

      It’s not due to being intimidated, it’s a courtesy.
