In India, most people use hazard warning light in very strange situations. They use it when the visibility drops due to rain or fog while entering into the tunnel. This is not an advisable situation to use a hazard light.
If you use hazard lights your indicators won’t work and the car behind you will be confused whether you are changing lanes or making a turn. Yes, there are some cars (VW cars) which will switch off the hazard lights when you turn on your indicator.
