Okay, I find the hazard lights annoying; I once had them on in a rental Renault. The ABS system sometimes activates more frequently with more aggressive driving, and especially on snow, even without an actual emergency.
The brightness should adjust based on the braking force and ideally also on ambient light conditions, so that drivers don't have to constantly stare at such intense runway-like lighting at traffic lights.
Warning.

In the 206, at least the flashing lights turn on when you accelerate or tap the hazard light button. However, I find the early ABS activation quite annoying. Even a small amount of loose gravel on the road or a slightly damp road surface is enough to trigger it, and you don't even have to brake hard. The hazard lights come on quite early when the ABS kicks in. I rarely experience the ABS activating without the hazard lights also flashing.

Perhaps it's meant to curb overly aggressive drivers? My friend recently drove a 1.4L 206 with ESP (!), and Peugeot has tuned it very conservatively. Long before the ESP actually kicks in, the car emits a heart-wrenching beeping sound and flashes the driver frantically. Sharp right turns always trigger the beeping, and on wet roads, it also activates the ESP. If that doesn't annoy you...
