I’m not talking about not using signal, but instead referring to drivers who turn off the signal so quickly.
Example when changing lane: Flick Signal on - Lane change - Signal off, literally 2 seconds and the car is not even moving fast to change lane.
Another example for when making a turn: 0.5 second to do Signal On - Turn - Signal off…
I swear on both of my nuts that these drivers arent even looking at the mirrors (any mirrors) or looking over their shoulders.
If you happen to do this, no offense but why? Is it to show the cops you did signal? Or there exists a signalphobia , i.e. the tick tock sound can annoy passengers?/
On my car, when I push the stalk half way the lights blink 3 times then turn off automatically
Same, and I think this feature is called “change lane”, I can even set it on my car to disable/3 blinks/5 blinks, I set it to 5.
Oh that’s cool. I can only change the volume of emulated sound haha. Pointless
Same. This runs for 3 seconds and blinks 3 times. If the car behind you is not paying attention to you for longer than that, that’s their problem. Your first priority when driving is looking where you are going before anything else.
And I think on some cars I’ve had in the past, it was only 2 times even.
Personally that tech shouldn’t exist. People rely on it and don’t give others around them enough time to realize a lane change is about to happen.
Turn it on. Let it blink a few times to make sure others know you are moving. Change lanes. After you are in the lane then turn it off.
I don’t cut anyone off in busy ass traffic man. There’s no reason for me to flip it on all the way. I’ve also seen hundreds of cars turn their blinker on then it stays on for miles. Double edged sword. Look behind you, flip the stalk and move over. No point in thinking about it too hard
It exists because too many idiots turn it on, forget about it and then drive along for another 5 miles signalling a turn they’re never going to make and confusing everyone around them. Personally, I’d much rather someone signal for “too short” an amount of time than have this happen.
To be honest this just creates problem. Put a loud chime on it so it starts singing after a while. What we have now is a tech that allows people to signal to short of a time potentially creating accidents
