Car blinkers...

[ilovepcot]

Just read on Facebook that many of the newer cars have done away with them. Is this true? Surely this person is wrong.

State Law in NY along with a host of other things required in Cars. I remember trying to buy a new car without the optional rear defogger, Couldn't. If the directionals don't work an car will not pass NYS safety inspection.

What facebook did you read that from?

Methinks someone is pulling your leg.

I also think someone is pulling your leg. I don't believe it for a second.

I hope not. I can't stand being behind someone who doesn't signal; I can't imagine driving where blinkers aren't required. Can you imagine the accidents?

Methinks you missed the sarcasm.

Lol.

Funny blinker story - It was big news last year when the mayor of our city received a ticket for making a turn without signaling. I think it was a slow news day.

They may as well get rid of air bags, horns and wipers too while they are at it. Think of what a challenge it will be! Who needs those anyway??

 

[Squirlz]

Of course not. Maybe they mean they might as well not come with directionals, based on what I see everyday.

Spare tires yes, blinkers, no. They are required by federal law.

A lot of cars no longer have a place on the passenger side to unlock the door, they expect everyone to have a key fob for that, and the only key hole is on the driver's side. Sorry, I only carry the key FOB for my car with me, not going to carry a pocketful of key fobs with me with I just need a key. Sometimes I need to get in the passenger side first.

 

[msjprincess]

I really doubt that that. I'm guessing it was sarcasm.

Isn't a little early for April Fools?

Someone's sarcasm meter is CLEARLY broken....

But the gullibility meter is working quite well!

 

[ilovepcot]

Okay...everybody have your fun. Gullibility, sarcasm, stupidity...whatever. Since the last time I looked at new cars, backup cameras, lane change warnings and many other great features have been added. When I saw this being discussed (no blinkers on newer cars), I figured I'd missed a "new" technical gadget that takes the place of a regular blinker. So sorry!

That's what my husband calls speed limit signs. When we were on a trip once, I reminded him of the speed limit as he was zooming down a winding road and going faster than I thought he should. He told me that the speed limit sign was just a suggestion.

It's funny because when he drives around town, he drives so slowly that he almost goes backwards. But when we are on trips, he speeds.
