I can't read it

Ah this again.. BMW offers an indicator subscription.. you get 10 free flashes per month, and then if you haven't bought in, it's pay per flash.. sheesh.. how is that hard to understand? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Us BMW drivers do use indicators, they’re just at a wavelength that poor people can’t see.

Easy oil exchange pump. You need to stroke it left and right in order to get the old oil out of the tip of the lever.

They usually hire specially educated women

Yes, I've also heard that women are usually much better at this job.

I currently drive a BMW and I use them. But that's because BMW driver is a state of mind and not based on the car you own. I am a Toyota driver at heart.

The state I currently live, Louisiana, and it seems like blinkers at all is a premium package upgrade. Hell, half the time cops don't even use them around here. The only vehicle I can reliably see use them are out of state 18 wheelers.

Was behind a driver's Ed car once, no kids, the instructor. No blinker used....

Why all the hate for BMW drivers? Pickup owners should also be in this meme.

Not so many pickup drivers in the rest of the world compared to the US. Plenty of BMWs though

You can't expect people to stop being tribal.

I wish that problem was confined to BMW, it's common enough to happen even with popular car drivers 'round these parts.

if you ever think your job is pointless just remember there is someone who installs the turn signal system in BMWs

There must be a whole bunch of “temporarily embarrassed” BMW owners, then…

"I can't read it, because it's literally blinding me right now, what is that, some kind of LED projector inside?"

This works for people in the state of Florida too.

I resently switched from Toyota to Volkswagen. My signaling lowered by about 30%.

Here and there I just notice that I did it again.

(most) Italian drivers:

Italy doesn't count. They have... Their own way of doing things.

It is kind of confusing how you press down to signal left and up to signal right

It aligns with the way you turn the wheel, so it's not confusing at all.

Maybe for five seconds if you don't know the concept of an indicator

That's what I mean. If you had no idea how the level worked, looking at that, one might think it slides in and out.
