      That’s the break check peddle. You press it really hard on the highway to make sure that the person behind you has good breaks.

    Yes, this is very dangerous. With BMW, Mercedes and Audi, leaving this light on for more than 3 ticks will cause an explosion. That’s why you never see these brands using their turn signal.

    BMW used to be king arsehole of UK roads, back in the 1990s. This mantle was usurped by Audi in the new millennium but not everywhere it seems.

      In the US I’d say its a pretty tight race still. I quite literally laugh every time I see a BMW turn or change lanes without signaling. Which makes the average drive quite funny.

    When using the turn signal handle, “Down is left, Up is right.”

    This picture is obviously indicating the car is down.

    Best “car guy” trope I’ve ever heard is that BMW signals work fine and the drivers use them. They just emit a spectrum of light that the poors can’t see.

    As a BMW driver myself, I’m on the opposite end of that spectrum. I signal my intent to an obnoxious degree. If I get into an accident, the other motorist can’t claim they didn’t know where I was going.

      Well if it’s their word against yours, since you’re driving a beemer they’ll automatically believe them when you claim you were signalling.

      You have to oversignal in modern BMWs or the wheel vibrates and tries to correct the other direction. Forced merges, lane splitting, any deviation from straight down the middle even when it’s obvious that you have to do that thing, the car bitches at you if you don’t signal.

      (As well as an official $500 “retrofit” traditional stalk and steering wheel)

          You have to take your eyes off the road to figure out if Top or Bottom is Left or Right until you got used to that asinine design.

            Yeah, and to people used to reading left to right and top to bottom, it would arguably be MUCH more intuitive for Left to be first/on top…

            I’m thinking this might be one of the few design choices where Musk actually DID have some input.

      I’ve read someone complain that on the models where it’s on capacitive buttons, the wheel is supposed to vibrate to confirm but it’s not always possible to feel it in motion. So yes, you are correct.
