    A reason to police non-indicating

    "Research finds drivers who don't use their blinkers cause more crashes than people talking on mobile phones."
    http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/mo...not-indicating

    It also shows a lack of care and consideration for other road users.

    Most of them don't indicate because they are still on their mobile phones.

    Most don't indicate early enough

    They use their flashers to show what they are already doing

    but I notice (again) the "fix" isn't to have people learn to drive, it's to fit yet more "aids" to the vehicle

    "The report suggests a solution to the problem - it labels them "Smart Turn Signals" - which use sensors and a computer to remind the driver if they fail to indicate"

    I thought it was because Jap imports don't have indimicators fitted!

    There is no need to indicate anymore, if you are following the new rules you cant have an accident.

    It was non-indicative research though.

    The system could be on the blink though.

    I've heard there is plans to update it, but it's an 'on again off again' situation.

    It might pay to corner the market.

    You must have blinkers on if you don't think this research is indicating an upcoming turn in legislation. Right enough, if it's left to academics we'll all be covered head to toe in Electroluminescent wire.

    I followed a mufti cop in a maroon Commodore (easy enough to pick up the lights on the parcel shelf, even without taking note of all the aerials) from Paraparaumu to Petone today . Driver never once indicated lane changes (and there were a lot). coulda/woulda/shoulda *555ed her. (youngish, reasonably attractive blonde)
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
