You are supposed to inspect your car at least from time to time. This includes walking over to see your turn signals work correctly.
- christophilus 5y agoMost people I know leave that up to their service people.
- Bud 5y agoWe're supposed to brush twice a day, get regular exercise, eat well, not get drunk, not smoke, have an appropriate work/life balance, limit screen time, get enough sun exposure, not get too much sun exposure, vote, floss, do unto others as we would have them do unto us, and change the oil every five thousand miles, too. But how is all that working out?
- lmilcin 5y agoI do check my car every couple of weeks. I have a routine that takes about 3 minutes total. About twice a month so about 24 times 3 minutes ~ 1 hour per year. Although I could argue it actually takes zero time because I usually do this while waiting for somebody else to get into the car. As a side note, if you are too busy to brush your teeth you should consider talking to a health professional about consequences of not brushing teeth. Or maybe your wife/girlfriend.
- pc86 5y agoOkay. You're so in the minority that we can safely say "nobody does this" and still have it be an accurate statement at a statistical level.
- sbarre 5y agoI also inspect my car pretty regularly in a quick "walk-around", and check things like tire pressure at least monthly, if we're out here collecting anecdotes. And I don't drive anything fancy..
- shotta 5y agoMy dad put little mirrors in the garage so he can check the blinkers easily without leaving the vehicle.
- edoceo 5y agoTell you dad he's clever. And also some random fool from the internet is now copying him.

- spockz 5y agoI just check my lights in either glass window reflections or paint reflections from parked cars depending on how and where I’m parked. The only car that needed the engine oil checked regularly was our second car, a 12 year old Opel Corsa. All other cars kept their fluid and just needed the oil changed at the regular intervals.
- u801e 5y agoMy 2000 model Audi actually has a indicator light on the dash that only comes in when the stop lamp is not coming on, but only when the brake pedal is pressed.

- tromp 5y agoAnd not to exceed the speed limit... just to name one that's universally violated.
- stemlord 5y agoNeedlessly pedantic point... no one doubts that they have seen the back of their car before
- MerelyMortal 5y agoI think there is a misunderstanding. I doubt they have seen the back of their own car while they are driving said car.
- kmonsen 5y agoI failed my first driving exam for not doing this. Never done it once more in my life.
- Nextgrid 5y agoEven if people look at their own cars they'd assume it's fine in the sense that most countries have regulations that cars need to meet before they can be sold.
- Johnny555 5y agoI check my lights by turning them on and watching the glow on the garage door in front and wall behind the car. But with the advent of LED's, I suspect that fewer and fewer people are checking their lights since they rarely fail without physical damage.
