if you ever think your job is pointless just remember there is someone who installs the turn signal system in BMWs

This works for people in the state of Florida too.

I currently drive a BMW and I use them. But that’s because BMW driver is a state of mind and not based on the car you own. I am a Toyota driver at heart.

The state I currently live, Louisiana, and it seems like blinkers at all is a premium package upgrade. Hell, half the time cops don’t even use them around here. The only vehicle I can reliably see use them are out of state 18 wheelers.

Was behind a driver’s Ed car once, no kids, the instructor. No blinker used…

I tried sliding the control rod in and out of the steering column, but nothing happened. I think it’s stuck.

I actually did that when I was a kid trying to understand those mysterious car sticks my dad slapped with incredible confidence while driving.

Why all the hate for BMW drivers? Pickup owners should also be in this meme.

Doublepluskirk , 5 months ago

Not so many pickup drivers in the rest of the world compared to the US. Plenty of BMWs though

The meme involving pickup drivers is that they’re lacking downstairs.

It is kind of confusing how you press down to signal left and up to signal right

Cornucopiaofplenty , 5 months ago

Maybe for five seconds if you don’t know the concept of an indicator

zeppo , 5 months ago

That’s what I mean. If you had no idea how the level worked, looking at that, one might think it slides in and out.

SteveTech , 5 months ago

It aligns with the way you turn the wheel, so it’s not confusing at all.

“I can’t read it, because it’s literally blinding me right now, what is that, some kind of LED projector inside?”

MacNCheezus , 5 months ago

I’d like to think that this is because BMW drivers are Orcs.

uis , 5 months ago

No, that would be Lexus.

Us BMW drivers do use indicators, they’re just at a wavelength that poor people can’t see.

Story Time:

My brother once gave me a ride home from work, back before I could drive. He had a Mercedes. Not only was he drinking beer while driving, he refused to use his indicators/blinkers

When I asked him why he didn’t signal to other drivers, he said with a smirk “They didn’t come with this model” and proceeded to finish his can of beer.

I hope he’s in prison

FrankTheHealer , 4 months ago

No he works on a billionaire’s yacht as an engineer. Maybe some day though lol

drathvedro , 4 months ago

Do yachts have blinkers though?

FrankTheHealer , 4 months ago

They don’t. But if they did, I doubt they’d see much use

drathvedro , 4 months ago

I checked, and it seems like they use horn signaling instead

I’ll should start using those on my BMW…

(most) Italian drivers:

anarchy79 , 5 months ago

Italy doesn’t count. They have… Their own way of doing things.

ICastFist , 5 months ago

I wish that problem was confined to BMW, it’s common enough to happen even with popular car drivers 'round these parts.

EffortlessEffluvium , 5 months ago

There must be a whole bunch of “temporarily embarrassed” BMW owners, then…
