Mr Red BS: vehicle tail lights - trends (51* d) RE: BS: vehicle tail lights - trends 27 Nov 18


On the subject of indicators.
Vauxall (& Opel) had one model that the designer decoded it was pretty to put the indicator near the top/point of an elongated peardrop shaped headlamp cluster.

One bright sunny Sunday 11am in September I had one turn across me at a mini roundabout, and had to brake sharply.

As he turned the indicator became obvious. And as I fumed on my way I reasoned that the angle of the sun and the "form over function" conceit had channeled the sunlight into the cluster and as we know, mid-day sun is pretty dominant.

Give me things that work, before prettiness. Every time.

Lesson learned - IF "car approaching is Vauxall" THEN "apply brakes" ELSE "different hazzard"
