Why is driving with hazard lights on during fog in the UAE dangerous and punishable by a Dh500 fine and four black points?

Experts and authorities warn that using hazard lights while driving in fog is unsafe because it confuses other motorists, hides your turn signals, and prevents drivers behind you from anticipating lane changes or braking—further worsening already reduced visibility and reaction time caused by dense fog. Instead, motorists should use low-beam headlights, fog lights, maintain safe distances, slow down, avoid distractions, and pull over if visibility drops to zero, as hazard lights are meant strictly for emergencies or stationary vehicles. Do you think residents are well-aware of this rule, or should UAE authorities intensify awareness campaigns during winter months?
