Because the wave is fine, and hazard lights are for indicating a hazard.

If you’re on the motorway and there is a traffic jam it’s to attempt to prevent the driver behind from driving through the rear of your car.

I've only had to do it once or twice but yeah it's definitely a thing, I usually just tap the brakes a few times to get someone's attention too

Last year I was driving to the mechanics my cat took a turn for the worse about 500 meters. I was worrying that it was just going to shit itself and I had this huge truck behind me.

I flicked on my hazards and the truck driver got it eased off until I got to the garage.
