Ugh I just wrote a 300 word reply but lost it. Anyhow, sorry I just reread your sentence and I misinterpreted what you wrote, my bad.

I don't think the real issue is slowing down for cautions, as they are generally not used for highly dangerous situations where a slow rate of speed is required, but for hazards. If it's a busy server with multiple users on and there is a user blocking the Autobahn (or a similarly dangerous situation), I will generally setup a hazard further down the road first and wait for the TOW to arrive.

This does obviously assume other units are around, which they are often not. If this were to be implemented I don't think that cautions should be part of it, as many times cautions are just for a random towing on the grass or a cop fining someone, situations that you can spot and avoid by just continuing on your driving path or altering it.

Hazards are something that need to be slowed down for. There's no reason that people shouldn't slow down on a closed section of the Autobahn with two hazards set up, and cause an accident.

And to your other point, I don't really think hazard abuse is a major issue, and if/when it does occur, you can just tell them to turn it off, pretty simple. I think this would only occur due to misinformation, or a lack of experience. Communication is key in situations like this.
