I never knew it was common knowledge. I always wondered why BMW drivers use the turn signals less often than drivers of other brands.
I know that Peugeot drivers can't help it, because the electronics are shit.
The law of the asphalt jungle dictates a strict hierarchy maintained by the current value of the vehicle. The rare and elusive hypercar at the top, Bentley and Rolls Royce after that, BMW, Audi, Mercedes claim their place after the big boys, then comes the rabble with the commoner brands like Opel, Renault, Peugeot, Volkswagen and after that the economy cars. Trailing all of them are the sort of cars that are officially quadricycles and hated by all. The right of way follows that order and no signaling is required for lesser cars. They are expected to yield and make room for their more noble brethren. It's a stupid status game, all of it, and it endangers safety.

Look up most dangerous highways and when it is limited to a certain distance, the most dangerous highways are in Texas or Florida.

I sometimes have to go to Miami and I'm legit scared of the highways there.

I don't think they should be adding RGB to cars it's a bit ostentatious.

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

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.

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.

Fr that seems flagrantly wasteful
So is a BMW, yet here we are

So you’re telling me they’re not an optional extra?
Correct. Blew my mind too.

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.
RECHTSFAHRGEBOT, MOTHER FUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?
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
-
But... Why?
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.

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

You know, in retrospect, you are totally right.
