Comment on YSK that if your turn signal is blinking unusually fast (like 3 or more times a second), it generally means you have a bulb out.

  This is really smart. Considering tail light will get you pulled over, this can save you some pain. I never figured out a good way to check on my own. Thanks!

    Another tip is asking literally any human.

      Interacting with other humans? No thank you!

      Also I’ve never ever seen an instrument panel that indicates when a bulb is out. Maybe that’s a feature on new vehicles, but not one I’ve ever heard of.

        I miss my ancient Volvo, it had that feature on all the lights.

      One good way to make sure it isn’t working

      Reminds me of that jokes about the two hunters in the woods.

      “911, what’s your emergency?”

      “Help, my friend got bit by a snake, and I think he’s dead!”

      “Stay calm, and check to make sure if he’s actually dead.”

      BLAM

      “Okay, he’s definitely dead”

        I think he meant “putting a brick on the brake in order to check yourself” but I guess throwing the brike on the lights also work.

    Put on your emergency lights and walk around the vehicle?
