  If you ever feel like your just a cog spinning endlessly in a machine with no real purpose in your career, remember that there is a man in Germany who has a job installing turn signals on BMWs.

    Ironically the BMWs here in Germany tend to use their signals in my experience

      Might be, but the majority of drivers is constantly ignoring safety distance and trying to butt-fuck me on the Autobahn. I used to like BMW when I was younger, but I decided I will never buy that brand because I don’t want to be associated with the majority narcissistic assholes group that is BMW drivers.

        Maybe it’s not trickled down yet but I can assure you the Tesla drivers are now the worst in the UK. It was Audi.

    must be a pretty busy guy if he has to install them in all those cars

  Signalling is trickle down bullshit that only helps those who come after you. You don’t buy a BMW because you want to help others.

    Funny thing is, they do help you. Sure, there’s assholes who see a signal as a sign that they need to speed up to prevent a lane change, but there are plenty of people who will see the signal and let you in, at least in my area. My own rule of thumb is if I don’t have to slam on my brakes to let you in, I’ll slow down for you, especially if you’re a semi.

    Unless I know you pulled into an onramp lane just to skip ahead of the people not doing that bullshit when it’s stop and go level traffic. But it’s usually hard or impossible to tell who is an asshole and who is just using the onramp because they just got on the highway and I try to leave space for people just getting on.

  They all run out of fluid and never bother refilling it.

  I have a BMW motorbike, it’s a tiered subscription, the level I’m on allows for 10 flashes per month 😁
