:Rubbish.  Where I live there is a shortage of parking space, because

Only very occasionally is a parked car with hazard lights on a hazard (and
if it is, it shouldn't be there).  The vast majority I see appear to be
people who think hazard warning lights mean 'Don't book me for parking, I
won't be more than a few seconds'.  (Then of course they disappear for
ten minutes...)
