This was in response to everyone using them during a blizzard.

I think the reason specifically is because the hazards are meant to indicate reduced speed, so maybe they were stating not to use them if not driving at reduced speed? I know our drivers handbook tells us to use them in reduced visibility "if driving at a greatly reduced speed"

According to a different article I just read, you should only use your hazards when your vehicle is posing a hazard to other vehicles. Its a small distinction.

Yes, that tracks. In very heavy fog, you should be at a reduced speed since you can't see more than a meter in front of you. I imagine that's true in a blizzard too. Your second reading is a little confusing though, I imagine in most cases like this a slowed vehicle is a hazard to others...

Yeah thats just the wording I've read, it seems ambiguous to me as well. I wish it was more clear-cut.
