Turn signals, rear-view mirrors, headlights, ... the list goes on. My experience as a cyclist is that BMW drivers are asshats by choice, not by chance or innate talent.

Whatever happened to just sticking your hand out of the window? People these days tend to take it as an insult. :confused:

just remember there are people who are at this very moment getting paid to put indicators on BMWs :laugh:

ok, it's both a pun and a joke... But seriously, don't robot do that, not people?

My experience here is that Subaru has taken over Volvo's aura of iunvulnerability. WRXs excepted, of course. Cheers, Peter

Audis seem to attract a particularly stupid and careless class* of driver that might previously have driven a Beemer. *Yes, there are sensible and careful Audi drivers, but they do seem to be a _very_ small minority.

Aha! From your question I see you must be an American driver. This makes sense.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
Or a BMW driver ;)

What's an indicator?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.
Don't feel too bad. I read the replies to your question and still don't know what they are talking. However, I have already lost interest, so I will just assume it is a turn signal even though that does not make me get the point of the original post.

Locally our two sets of drivers are the aforementioned BMW's and red pickup trucks (any make/model). The pickups like snagging you with their right-hand rear view mirror. I don't know why color makes a difference.
