[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now everyone has those daytime running lights, I can't tell if it's a funeral procession. So don't throw me dirty looks when there's a huge gap and I have to merge [/quote]

Huh. When I read the OP I was thinking that I can't even remember the last time I saw one. Maybe they've been happening around me all along and I just thought it was people with their daytime lights on and I've been ignoring the etiquette. If that's the case...SORRY![/quote]

Funeral processions put headlights on, but now they've been adding black flags and using hazards too in some places. (ugh, clearly I've been to too many funerals).[/quote]

Also, at least where I am from, they are generally accompanied by 1-2 officers on motorcycles to help at the intersections.  It’s been a long time since I encountered one here so I can’t remember if that is common in this area or not. But I recall nearly getting into a huge wreck in my 20s, I had moved to another state and went to make a left turn at a green arrow and ended up in the middle of a funeral procession- there was just enough of a gap between that cars that they weren’t continuous one behind the other, no one had hazard lights on, no police officer to direct traffic. People started screaming at me out of their cars and one tried to sideswipe me off the road. I turned off as quickly as possible and was shaking.[/quote]

I've had an experience like this too.  Super scary. [/quote]
