Comment on Tesla is banned from driving schools because of new turn signals

  Covered in the article. In Norway you are required to signal when exiting a roundabout. It’s a fair concern.

    If you are going hand-over-hand in a roundabout, you’re doing something very wrong…

      The point is that there will be no way to handle the turn signal through muscle memory. With a traditional control, it is always in the same place in relation to your body. It doesn’t move. When it’s in the steering wheel, it can be in many, many different places. If you have media controls on your steering wheel, try using them during a turn without taking your eyes off the road. Now pretend they are smooth and act like a touch input on a dual shock controller.

        As is the one on the wheel. Right next to your thumb.

      That’s not the issue, imagining driving through a roundabout that curves left and having to find a button somewhere on the steering wheel, which is at an angle, in order to indicate right before turning tight in order to exit the roundabout.

      A stalk will always be in the same position. The same cannot be said for buttons.

      I think you’re right. People in this thread are forgetting that this steering yoke doesn’t have anywhere to put your hands other than right next to the buttons

    And Australia, at least state of NSW made it mandatory

    • psud@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That’s law across the whole country

        I’m pretty sure you don’t have to signal when exiting a roundabout in Victoria. We might be the outlier though. In Vic it’s also legal to U turn anywhere, unless a sign specifically prohibits it.

  In addition to roundabouts, there are plenty of freeway exists that loop around where you can be at an extreme turn and need to initiate a lane change. Or making a right turn into a gas station after a left turn at an intersection… lots of use cases.
