some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 23 hours agoMy favorite blinker scenario locally is an offramp/series of interchanges getting off a local interstate which calls for several right blinker indications in a row:
- Start on 2-lane 55mph turnpike with exit coming up on the right in ~.5 miles
- right blinker goes on as the turnpike gradually widens to 5 lanes, adding new lanes on the right every ~.1 miles - I leave the blinker on as I hug the solid white and slip into each new lane as it comes
- After .2 miles of being in the rightmost of the 5 lanes, I slip onto the exit ramp - blinker is still on
- After another .1 miles, the ramp splits and I take the right side of the fork - blinker still on
- Yet another fork after that where I stay to the right again
- Another roadway merges in on the right
- Come up on a T intersection of the off-ramp with the surface street and, you guessed it, the blinker is STILL ON, and it’s another right turn for me
- That last 90° turn is enough of a steering wheel rotation to trigger the automatic shutoff of the blinker
- Grinning like an idiot the rest of the way home, fucking glorious

I can sorta imagine it, but also not. I think we need a video to laugh at

Maybe I’ll take a dashcam video. Seems like the sort of thing that belongs in dull men’s club.
