    From what I hear, the car itself beats it out of you.

    Based on the number of BMWs I see in the shop there?

    Something gets beat, that's for sure.

      Doesn't matter what speed you are going, if you can, move to the right.

      No.if im going at the speed limit I shouldn't have to let anyone pass. Specially those assholes who instead of blinking and waiting take their overcompensating weapon-truck and drive illegally close to me.

      I like driving on the left lane because otherwise I just have to keep changing laws to overtake those NOT going at the speed limit. If you want to out everyone at risk, don't get demanding

        My partner rarely uses her blinkers, and she wonders why people honk at her. Not BMW driver, but pretty much any car lol

        Where I live using turn signals gives inconsistent results people don't usually use them and its usually fine, I offer forget and is usually fine. But a lot of times, using my turn signal makes no difference. They like to ignore it or purposively get in your way

          Because BMW signals are different. Tiny tap gets you three blinks and goes off (more standard now). Pushing a direction turns them on, and unlike other cars you push the same direction again to disengage. This way you never accidentally push too far and do the opposite signal.

          I definitely prefer the BMW signal to any other vehicles I've driven, but as a BMW driver I've learned that when you signal people will aggressively close gaps. I still signal but take the space almost instantly because I know 90% of drivers will try to block me out.

            I asked the local BMW dealer if I had to take a class to unlearn how to use a turn signal.

            He did not find it funny, which I found even more hilarious.

            Of course, something about the german nature of the business prevents them from finding things funny.

                  Its a stereotype: BMW drivers supposedly tend to not use their turn signals in instances when they should, which can make them less predictable on the road which can be very dangerous.

                    I used to ride a motor bike and BMW divers are the reason I sold it. So many of them don't care about anyone beyond the range of their own knuckles.

                    Every driver in China is like that. The popular consensus seems to be if other drivers know what you plan to do, they will use it against you.

                        2013 was plenty dire. We had Ted Cruz's friends in the House trying to dismember social security and medicare while Obama kept explaining away why we needed more troops in Afghanistan and fewer labor organizers in Ohio.

                        The '08 Housing Crisis was still echoing through the US, the economy was stalling in the face of Congressional austerity, and people ringing the big "Climate Change is coming for us" dinner bell were once again getting told to shut up so we wouldn't scare away moderate republican voters in the 2014 midterms. Israel and Gaza had broken out into a brief shooting war, the recently-debunked Lancet "Vaccination-Autism" study was gaining traction among reactionary politicians, Jeffry Epstein was hanging out with Bill Gates on Palm Beach, and a fresh-faced NYC landlord with political aspirations was all over FOX News saying how he was on the verge of uncovering Obama's real birth certificate.

                        The fuse was lit. We were all just in the fucking around phase, rather than the finding out part. Extremely dire situation.

                        Top quality comment right here. Way to hit on so many disparate yet crucial historical events. I’d read a history book this person wrote.

                                I almost got in an accident with a BMW driver, today. They made it look like they were turning but faked me out and went straight, instead. Then they proceeded to scream something at me in a different language for about 30 seconds, while blocking my turn. I was the only one who signaled. There's no point to this story, I just felt it added to the vibe here.

                                      Dated a girl with a BMW and the turn signal was real fucky. Didn't click right, had no feel. You had to look at the dash to even see if it was on.

                                      German engineering can suck my fucking balls.

                                        I had no idea it could do that...
