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.

  What do they have if not amber turn signals?

    Oh boy, do I have a surprise for you. Their cars blink the brake lights. You read that right. Bonus video

      Interesting. I never thought the turn signals are amber by mandate in other places.

        I can’t speak for everywhere, but I’m Brazil the emitted light must be yellow. Some after market parts and some auto makers get creative and manage to put a red mask on it that somehow still lets amber light through. But it’s rare.

        It’s not by mandate. It’s a bad fad that is unregulated. Front blinkers are still amber.

  Except when they’re already merging in front of you. It’s like thanks bud, glad you thought to use the signal when two of your wheels were already over the line cutting me off. Cool cool cool.

    I am willing to cut some slack in a “oh shit, forgot the blinker this one time!” spirit. But yeah, using means using it properly. Enough in advance that other cars can react and don’t forget the fucking thing on forever. How do people not get annoyed by the clicks?
