‘Here’s an idea: let all those around you know your status.’

‘Revolutionary!’

It’s weird we haven’t already done this, but good.

Im not sure how true that is, at least FL requires you to renew your license more frequently as you get older. Idk if its just a vision test though.

sliding lights: it depends on the bulb but i imagine it would easy to see move

arrows: i dont know why you think they would point fowards or backwards they would just towards the side youre on or not

Wow that's got to be almost worthless. As you say, it just takes some idiot with a load obscuring the vehicle lights and suddenly nobody behind them knows what's going on. What's next, are we going to make tail lights optional?

That's a good point, although flashing does help to grab attention, but it can also be annoying when the person is driving with their foot on the brake pedal.

I may be biased from seeing what I see in my state, lol. Families have to beg them to stop driving after they crash into a building, no political will exists to change things. There's more states than I thought that require additional driving exams, at least in certain circumstances.

BMW should focus on making the turn signals work first.

Definitely make it easier for people on crosswalks to start walking. Knowing that they are slowing down.

The couple of times they tried out roundabouts in my area, they didn't last long because people were too stupid to figure out how to use them. So instead they just bitched until they were taken out.

Same here in the US, though I’ll say as someone actually colorblind, it’s not the easiest to decipher the red/yellow when at speed until you’re somewhat close. Normally not an issue since anything resembling red=start slowing down, but there are situations where a standard light may start acting as a single flashing red or yellow, and that can be tough to figure out at speed. Flashing reds are supposed to have stops signs here as far as I know, but there’s been at least one intersection that hasn’t had them, which certainly gives me some anxiety about taking that as a rule. The system works alright enough, but it’s definitely frustrating that we settled on red/green for things when that’s the most common color blindness. I have some strong opinions on bathroom indicators, particularly in airport bathrooms where the lighting is often sub par too

Proper self-driving cars? Do you mean a bus?

Sure but the second I lose my mobility I will put a deer slug through my head.

Putting fewer people in danger than the pavement princess speeding though a yellow light.

You say this like those same people won't leave it on stun

This might be the dumbest comment I have ever read on the Internet. That’s like 30 years of comments.

My status is in a relationship

Don't get any ideas buddy

Yeah, like if someone crashes their car due their own stupidity, I'm not stopping to help. Darwin Awards and all that.

If you're looking at the side of the car, you don't see them the same way as from the front. Which this whole discussion is about.

If you can see both turn signals from your point of view, current design works well enough.

Why not move to a place where low mobility doesn't cut you off from the rest of society?

There's plenty of retirement communities where you can get around with a golf cart. In the 3 biggest cities here in SK, old folk can ride the subways for free, and sometimes you even see them drive mobility scooters on.

Other places I've been have level boarding for buses, but I've never seen someone drive a mobility scooter onto one. Certainly it wouldn't fly in SK.

So risking everyone else's life around you is worth it?
