    I never heard that word - and now that I see it, it looks funny... Solved by pure deduction and an anagram tool - still can post my guess?

    I think the honourable course would be to take a delay. Say 30 minutes. If it hasn't gone off by then, post your solution.

            Nice, and while that's not the word we would use here in the UK, it's definitely one we know. I'll let Kornfeld post this one.

                                  That reminds me where I've first read about the device (not that I've ever seen one): it was a travel book written by respected anthropologist Bengt Danielsson[^] about a road trip he took in Australia in the '60s. When his European car was to be approved for driving in Australia, the official complained that it doesn't have "trafficators" which at the time were compulsory on Australian roads. In the same book he said that in less populated areas, there weren't many road indicators and the main road could be identified by the number of beer bottles on the side. Was that true or just travel fiction meant to tarnish the sterling reputation of Aussie drivers? :laugh:

                                    The first could be a left-hand-drive vs right-hand-drive issue. Until fairly recently it was extremely difficult to use a LHD vehicle on Aussie roads. Certainly hand signals (which were fine in RHD cars then) would not have worked. The second one sounds a bit "urban myth". I could imagine it for say a mining camp sort of place, but not main highways.
