Why YSK: Your signals alert other drivers as to what you’re doing; a signal bulb costs a few bucks and is usually a quick and easy repair to do yourself (consult YouTube); and any place that regulates motor vehicles probably requires you to have working turn signals. So knowing when and how to replace a burned out signal bulb can save you an interaction with law enforcement.
Adding: You can diagnose which bulb is out by turning on your hazard lights and checking all four corners of your car. It’ll be the one not flashing.
This is also probably a good time to check your brake lights. Put something heavy on the pedal or have a friend hold it down and check that all three brake lights illuminate. Replacing a burned out brake light is also usually pretty cheap, quick, and easy.
Many seem to have the attitude that if you never use them, the bulbs will never burn out. Problem solved.
How is your BMW these days?
Here it’s the pickup trucks
Here’s the EVERY FUCKING ONE. Seriously what’s wrong with you people? It’s bad enough that cars in the US aren’t forced to use amber turn signals, but I guess it doesn’t matter here because no one ever touches the damn blinkers!
What do they have if not amber turn signals?
Oh boy, do I have a surprise for you. Their cars blink the brake lights. You read that right. Bonus video
Interesting. I never thought the turn signals are amber by mandate in other places.
I can’t speak for everywhere, but in Brazil the emitted light must be amber by law. Some after market parts and some auto makers get creative and manage to put a red mask on it that somehow still lets amber light through. But it’s rare.
It’s not by mandate. It’s a bad fad that is unregulated. Front blinkers are still amber.
Edit: I misread your comment.

Except when they’re already merging in front of you. It’s like thanks bud, glad you thought to use the signal when two of your wheels were already over the line cutting me off. Cool cool cool.
I am willing to cut some slack in a “oh shit, forgot the blinker this one time!” spirit. But yeah, using means using it properly. Enough in advance that other cars can react and don’t forget the fucking thing on forever. How do people not get annoyed by the clicks?
Imagine BMW and Tesla collaborate on a pickup truck, comes with a free box of bud light.
Nissa Altima, BMD and partiay Audi drivers be like
Q5 and a4 drivers use signals. If it’s an S model they do not 😂
