Should that be "not forcing others"?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Right. That's the default position.

It's North Korea. It's absolutely not nearly as advanced as they claim it to be.

Because the designers and marketers were given priority over the safety engineers.

Agreed. Are they turning, or just braking periodically with a taillight out? Who knows!

I also love the front turn signals that turn off that headlight. Dumb as hell for everyone.

Also, animated signals should be banned. On or off, no flashing, glowing, or sliding.

Because it wasn't blindingly obvious? I don't know how tall the truck in front of me is, and since I don't drive tall vehicles I know even less about the heights of bridges. Usually commercial drivers are the better ones.

Well it's a Nintendo console, so that's right about where it's expected to be.

For anyone used to American news especially, no.

Yes that's all I want, to be able to see the indicator again. A lot of newer cars have moved them too far to the side of the vehicle.

I encounter this pretty often because a Boston area streets are terrible and the drivers are worse, so a visible indicator helps all drivers make traffic flow more smoothly.

And then you'd get assassinated.

I mean when a car is coming at me from a cross street, I want to be able to tell if they're turning or just an asshole not using their signal. On some cars, the turn signal is mounted so far to the side that if they're approaching from my right and turning right onto the same street as me, I can't see that turn signal. Sometimes combined with the roundness of the nose exacerbating the problem.
