As someone who doesn’t drive, I’ve been wondering why people driving modern cars don’t use their turn signals in the city. This article finally made me understand - drivers don’t want to be annoyed by the warning sound of the blind spot sensors. The designers of this feature certainly had the best intentions, but made city streets a lot less safe. I often barely avoid getting swiped by an unexpectedly turning car when I’m on my bicycle.
