The kind of muppets that don't seem to realize that by indicating, it is an act to let other road users aware of what they're doing, people that are'nt able to judge the speed of traffic, etc, etc. Further more, when i'm out on my motorcycle, I always ride with the lights on, and strangely enough I still become a magician because I can apparently come out of f*$king nowhere!!! So safe to say i'm with skyship, having lights on is a another way of letting all the dimwitted roadusers out there, know, that your there.

That is the reality of our roads as we perceive it day in, day out.
DLR's can only help with one part of the problem but, as you yourself have mentioned when talking about the use of indicators, the issue is far wider. Is decreasing the driver's responsibility the way forward?? Some in here complain about having to switch lights on when they drive a car with no DLR's. Is it really that hard??

Drls or autolights should be fitted to every single vehicle at the time of manufacture. Instead they are fitting vibrating seats to wake you up if you stray from your lane.. unbelievable. Indicators are one of my pet hates.. aswell as people stopping in hashed yellow boxes on roundabouts. You can have all the bells and whistles fitted to a car but it comes down to the driver to make use of it. Nothing will change in a hurry.

You hear about the American who put his RV in cruise control and went in back to make a cuppa thinking it would drive itself. Then blamed the RV when it crashed on a bend!!

Wife is having lessons and was told there is no need to indicate to pass a parked vehicle!
There was me thinking that it helps the car behind understand why your swerving into oncoming traffic. I don't understand the world anymore................ |

If you ride a pushbike, no amount of flashing and bright lights can ensure your safety from idiots who ride to close and don't look out for cyclists, but those idiots would have a much job to argue that they didn't see you, if you were riding around like a fecking Christmas tree crossed with a lighthouse, and still got run over. Always remember: there's no accounting for idiots.
