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 like “I’m 16 and just got my car” level of YSK.

  For you and me it is, but a lot of people don’t really know much about their vehicles, or haven’t had the opportunity to learn everything about them.

  It’s never too late to learn something new.

    Next you’re going to tell me I haven’t had my blinker fluid changed each year.

      I just finished draining mine to put winter fluid in. It gets cold up here.

      Well, if you have a low brake fluid level chances are that you might need to check your brake pads.

    Is there a part of the US, Canada, Britain or EU that doesn’t have a law mandating working blinkers for a vehicle registration on a regular cadence?

      My state doesn’t even mandate a yearly vehicle inspection.

  You’d be surprised at how many people drive for decades without ever having lifted their own hood.

  But more importantly, how drivers behave to pedestrians?
