So I was driving along when the car in front of me started to brake. I was a good/safe distance away, but then I realised they were actually turning.
It was wet conditions and lights were on, but the indicator was so bloody small that I couldn't believe it.
Had me thinking, what other vehicles have horrible indicator/signal designs?
I think the car in question was a Kia Stonic. (Definitely a Kia of some kind)
I’m surprised they don’t have full size indicators and brake lights fitted with only 50% of it working unless you pay for the premium indicator subscription which then gives you use of the full indicator…
… for 12 months until you need to renew the subscription again :)
No time to get irritated about the vehicles, I used up my irritation quota on the doofus behind the wheel.
When turning, indicate, the brake. You can even do it early.
omg, for the first time, i saw a tesla model 3 indicator today, which is the size of a peanut…….
Audi Q3, one of the recent ones with full LED lights, it was almost impossible to see the turning signal while it was braking, amazed me how that could be compliant.
The standard ones on Piak bullbars shouldn't be ADR compliant
Can I just say. I was sceptical about even posting this question because it might have received only 4 or 5 replies. 3 pages later! 😂
Crazy!
I wonder what the ADR says? Probably something about duration, light intensity and the size of the indicator. Fairly sure all vehicles need to comply with that. Aftermarket is another story.
As for everyone complaining about how the sequential ones are stupid, it would seem that they aren’t harder to see if they annoy everyone so much!
Saw a Halal Haval SUV yesterday with just a small dot of LED on each side of its bumper.
Some cars have only 1 reversing light by design.
It drives me crazy.
This VW tiguan pisses me off, they have like > leds for the tailight but when they brake it swaps to <. Video below to demonstrate.
The current model S has a tiny led brake light, Elon's cost optimising again
