indicator fun...

[Devil]

“. . . as Andy followed the pensioner who had been holding up traffic at 70kph for the last 12 kilometres he espied a switch on his RH switchblock simply marked “KILL”

He had often wondered of its function & decided that now was indeed the time to try it out. . . “

*chuckles* hehe.

I also have hazard lights, great for saying thanks when someone lets you in...

They'd never get used in Auckland

And of course... they would be really useful in marking a hazard!

See a biker go down (and I hope you never do), you NEED, once you ensure you can stop safely, to highlight the hazard to other road users. So point the headlight directly at the accident scene, and put the bike so that the hazards are flashing in the direction of approaching traffic.

Really wish I had them on my bike - hope I'll never need to use them, but they'd be damn handy if I did need to protect an accident victim.

.. and you remembered to turn them off again, right?

Yeah what sort of bike has hazard lights???

A Kawasaki ZRX1200R has hazard lights as too, presumably, do most other Kawasakis that share the same switchgear.

I saw an SV1000S with its hazards on this morning while heading down the northern motorway. I was thinking that was an interesting way to lane split. Put your hazards on so you dont have to keep indicating your constant changes

I have observed at least one Auckland traffic cop doing that with his ST1100 through Spaghetti.

Continuously operating hazard lights won't get you off the hook for incorrectly-indicated lane changes as you hop to and fro across the dividing line, though.

However, it seems that courier vehicles are only fitted with hazard lights as opposed to indicators.
