Thank you. Absolutely right. These exist not for us, but for those who aren't as aware as they should be.
ok they look cool too

I don't think I'd use a signal mirror. Where I live, in Kanas City, if you use your turn signal when changing lanes, the motorists see that as a signal to speed up and not let you in. They aren't very nice. When I drive in the San Francisco area, I'd use it. The people are much nicer and if you use your turn signal they actually slow down to let you in. I'm thinking of moving to Denver. Does anyone know if drivers in Denver let you change lanes if you turn on your signal?

Oh no, another one of these signal mirror threads revived! Lol

But heyyyyy Tideland, cmon' really, I'm seeing a trend here.

Better this than one from 2005 talking about how you'll never recover the cost from $1.50/gal.

I didn't mean to offend anyone. I'd never heard of signal mirrors before and did a search for them on the site like I thought I was supposed to instead of posting a new thread.

Nono, you didn't offend, it's just something going on right now about someone who intentionally kept starting multiple threads about this same subject. You just happened to revive one other than the more current one. Its all good...

Australia gets signal mirrors and South Aussie drivers know that when someone indicates they want to change lanes into the lane your in in front of you, you must accelerate to close the gap. Therefore no one indicates their intention to change lanes. In Sydney when you indicate people make room for you.
I'm trying to introduce Sydney style driving to Adelaide.

why not combine all three threads on this subject?

we could but it's better earlier on otherwise the thread won't make sense (as the posts will be intersperse depending on response time, esp. if the person doesn't quote the poster they're replying to)

Finally someone has understood the intent of signal mirrors. Thanks.

For what ever it is worth: signal mirrors are available in Japan & Europe. Why can't Toyota make the mirrors available at our Toyota dealerships. That way we have the option of purchasing them from the parts dept. We can install ourselves or have the dealer install. wake up Toyota.
