I recently used the flashers to warn those coming up fast behind me that I was actually stopped, not just applying the brakes as I slowed down. Completely, appropriate. In fact, I heard one of the cars several cars behind me get rear ended.

I no longer warn other drivers of police giving tickets but I drive the mountains north of LAX a lot and will signal motorcyclists using hands or headlights to warn them about the ever-present rock debris on the roads.
