Safe Speed Forums

Given so many people don't indicate at junctions, and sometimes it's impossible to tell if the car causing concern is not bothering to signal, or is in fact acutally going straight ahead. I am wondering if having a straight ahead indicator would help to remove the confusion.

I figure it would look something like this:



There would be a similar one on the rear, of course.

Obviously it would only be a requirement on new cars, and legal to retrofit them to old cars, same as with foglights and so on.

Good idea or not?

I have to say I've thought of this myself in the past.

But it wouldn't stop the basic problem of people either not indicating at all, or indicating incorrectly

Nice of triumph to provide a hole there for your indicator.
... and I thought it was for the starting handle....
