Directional indicators on cars, USE THEM

In the last century that cars have been around someone had the brilliant idea of putting a light at all 4 outer corners of a car. That would blink at a certain interval when a leaver near the drives was pushed up or pulled down. The way the leaver is moved causes the lights to blink either on the left or right side of the car, this makes it handy to indicate the direction the driver will take the car without him risking a limb.

Growing up in the late 1980's early 1990's, I noticed that a lot of BMW drivers didn't use their indicators (A few years back I even saw a BMW with no indicator lights at all), in the mid-late 1990's more and more German cars drivers didn't bother to use them. And nowadays it seems a lot of people don't even bother.

This put not only themselves but other drivers at risk, so please use your indicators correctly and in the following cases:

• Taking a right or left turn
• Doing U-turn
• Changing lane
• When overtaking a road vehicle
• When having to go to lane of the opposite direction if you lane is blocked (only on a 2 lane road)

Thank you for making our roads safer
