Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates
Almacca@aussie.zone 2 days agoThe combined indicator/brake light thing you guys do is fucking stupid, so there’s a precedent.
I’ve always hated that. I feel like I’m seeing it less and less on newer vehicles, though, so maybe manufacturers are also realizing that it’s stupid as hell.
Or maybe it’s just not worth the cost to have two different but mostly identical versions of a very expensive and highly integrated modern taillight housing for different markets.
I hope so. I dug up this old video I watched ages ago that articulates really well why they’re a bad idea.
Clearly it’s your fault for both breaking and going around a corner at the same time. Who does that?
Can you edit that to ‘braking’, and I’ll delete this comment, please? It’s breaking my brain. :)
It’s too late, he already broke his car while going around the corner.

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.

Don’t even get me started on the wild and wonderful design ‘features’ on modern cars. Fucking hell, they want you to do *anything *but drive the thing and pay attention to the road.
