Got another: front turn signals tightly integrated with head lights. There's a spot we regularly need to make a left turn, and traffic other side of the intersection may or may not be turning left, as well. The cross street is a bit raised, so the cars opposite are canting up, making low beams pretty much high beams. Was there last night, late/dark, squinting at the opposite guy's headlights, and after 2~3 seconds, just barely discerned a small blinking-yellow zone. Ask my wife, for a cross-check, and she said nope, no signal..., oh wait: yes. But c'mon... This is with stationary vehicles, waiting on a red light. It's totally impossible to judge when both you and the oncoming are rolling. off topic: at least on a Windows pc, if you're in the Priuschat edit window, if you/'ve highlighted text, [CTRL]B, [CTRL]I and [CTRL]U make the text Bold, Italic and Underlined respectively.
Not really a bother for me since this site has an Ignore User Feature. @ Gimli Glider: Few accidents happen for one reason. IIRC: The skipper took off with a broken fuel gauge (totalizer?) which allowed a math error to result in sucking the tanks dry. Years ago when I read about it, I learned that RATs onboard an aircraft are not always a bad thing. Perhaps if they'd just stuck with Freedom Units..... Fortunately both the pilot and aircraft retired normally, again.... IIRC. @ Poorly designed turn signals and headlights. I drive either a truck or a mid-size (small) CUV. The CUVs at least have adult sized tires - which is what allows them to 'identify as' (pretend to be) SUVs. I have not noticed the problem with the indicators.
