I could see hazards being a useful tool. However, when this occurred the Malibu was closing on me for a long while. It would have been no surprise to an attentive driver that he/she was gaining (quickly) on me. What I am trying to say is, I didn't pop up out of the flow of traffic. The Malibu was the only vehicle in my lane for at least a mile. In this occurrence...three flashes probably would have gone unnoticed.

On another note:
I wouldn't mind getting a "slow moving vehicle" sticker for my car. The guy with the Ford Probe had some great "move over" signs on his hatch. My luck though, I would get hit by a slow reader.
