Should cars have a third set of indicators ?

[Dingo]

Great idea in my opinion.......but only if the third set "indicate" what a prat the driver is for not using the first two stes in the beginning.

Alternatively the third set could be on the roof indicating that the driver is a di*kh*ad!!

Just don't get me started on those drivers who don't indicate right when going around a roundabout and then glare at you when go to move ...

These lights exist, they're found on the bonnet or underside of the local spotty 17-year olds' over-modded Saxo

I was in my local Maplins store the other day and they had a pile of these on their clearence table for a couple of quid each. Just for the briefest moment I wondered what they'd look like under our car - luckily sanity prevailed

I thought the under car lights were actually illegal anyway? Mind you, noone seems to get pulled over for anything these days. Front foglights on all the time are my particular bugbear.

Well - a couple of months ago I did see the local police seriously questioning a riced car owned and his passenger. They'd fitted blue washer jet lights and made them flash. The passenger was leaning forward on the bonnet being searched and the driver was sat on the rear seat of the police car with handcuffs on being given a severe talking too

Back on subject - at least a front indicator would differentiate between people that aren't bothering to indicate and those that are. Theres a crossroads on my way to work that pittifully few bother to indicate turning left on :S I'd say we really need is a device that lights up if the driver has been making a lot of sharp turns without indicating, but theres a lot of sharp turns on the back roads around this area - so that could be confusing too.

Whats really, really needed is for the goverment to admit that people who are driving under the speed limit can still be just as dangerous - and stop putting this artificial emphasis on speeding...

how about making people renew their license every few years, especially if they're young?

i don't know about the rest of you, but at my test center, i failed for indicating wrong on a roundabout

I think everybody with a full licence should be made to take a theory test or some sort of road awareness test after so many years

I'm saying this as both a driver and a cyclist (not a red light jumping lycra lout though) ..

I think every couple of years all drivers should be made to cycle a couple of miles along a busy road to appreciate how it feels to have a car slice past you at 60mph with only a couple of inches gap. Latest one to do this to me was a hearse - complete with ocupant I can only guess the driver was touting for business.

I'm in favour of a special set of lights that automatically activate and stay activated for 1 week. If the car detects more than 2 left turns following sweeping right turns (i.e. leaving a roundabout) without the indicators being used in the space of a month then the special "I'm a ****ing retard" light comes on and stays lit for a week to warn other drivers you're a rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish.

I thought cars already had a badge for this - I t looks like a blue propeller thing and has the letters Bloodly Motoring W**ker on it

I think the fact remains that most drivers seem to have problem enough operating two indicators, let-or-lone a 3rd!
