disturbing observation

3 times today I experienced VW passats cut across me without indicating. Have the BMW set been forced into VW's for the recession?

I dunno, but there was a BMW behind me on the M50, and I was able to see his entire grille in my rearview mirror. I never knew that there was a front to BMWs - I always thought they started in my backseat! Maybe there's some kind of foreign exchange going on this week?

With the increasing pressures in work due to the down turn in the economy people just don't have time to indicate -show some consideration OP.

I prefer drivers not indicating at all to drivers who indicate left when taking a right at a roundabout which seems quite common these days :rolleyes:

Did you get his reg number? I'll get the union rep to have a word with him :mad:

Roundabouts have a strange effect upon some drivers. :rolleyes:

I remember when you used to ban people for mentioning roundabouts here

I did - I could read it clearly, but I was in too much shock at seeing a BMW's registration plate to remember it. If you're talking to the rep, tell him I think I saw something orange flashing on the left hand side of the car just before it exited at junction xx as well - no idea what it could have been.

They probably dont need to use indicators when they probably had gleaming red tdi badges to signal their intent

That's a gross exaggeration :mad:

I only ever banned people for mentioning fog lights. With hindsight I only regret not permabanning people posting pictures of oriental faeces like the mitsuoka viewt

With so many extras available, it's difficult to keep track.

There are lots of extras available on a 3 Series but, most out there are poverty spec - maybe the indicators are a €5000 extra?

Is it not the new model Passat that has the indicator lens set inside the
brake light - some weird circle within a circle setup like this.
Makes it hard to see when someone is indicating in my opinion.
