    I mean, these are ment to imply that you have become a hazard and stopping in the middle of the road do be pretty hazardous.

    Legitimate reasons to use it imo is If you’re gonna be stopped for less then a minute on the side of a road, otherwise find a park, if you need to stop and not somewhere you can park, get as far off the road as you can (ie shoulder of a freeway) or if you actually are in an emergency and need to stop, e.g. you’re car is suddenly externally combusting

      I’ve only used them when my car needs to be pushed off the road. If your car moves, you should move it.
