Since very few people have hazards with a wig-wag pattern, it confuses tailgaters. The car doesn't appear to be an emergency vehicle, but it's doing something that you normally only see on emergency vehicles or utility/construction trucks.

It helps in many cases, without causing someone to run off the road.



A very strange response. If someone is tailgating me, I'm already in danger. I really don't see how a rear-facing horn would increase that danger. Like the strobes, it would more likely confuse the tailgater, since the horn would seem to be coming from the front of their own vehicle.

Your initial strobes reference didn't make that clear, hence my 'strange' response.
