The rude aggressive drivers would be the ones he is honking at...

Just get an assortment of them and hang a dozen or so from the mirror. Settled!

And about the air? I got defective air from both 711 and WaWa in my rear tires as it keeps disapearing on me. I filled up the front tires a while ago from someplace else and they are still holding at 40. If only I could remember where I filled them up I go there and top of the rears!

I took drivers Ed in the early 70's when people knew how to drive before cell phones and pagers but now you have these idiots on the road that could give a rats butt about other drivers, so now I honk my horn when I see someone doing something stupid, I'm susprised I haven't worn out my horn relay from all the idiots driveing today. You have these speed demons that think they own the road an drive as fast as they want. I have seen idiots make right turns while in the left turn lane. You talk about horn etiquette that whent out the window a long time ago. Now it's every driver for them self. I live in Florida by US 19 and every day there are accidents from idiots speeding and loosing controll of there car, also a lot of road rage with guns and BB bats. This is the world we live in today and it's only getting worse.

Europe already mandate side turn signals + only amber lights decades ago; don't know why North America is always behind when it comes to infrastructure and safety!
Because they enjoy causing car accidents & high car insurance premiums. Some enjoy killing people too!
They learn how to drive in Walmart parking lots, so what do you expect? There is zero common sense about being a good, respectful driver here.

You don't think that actually teaches them anything, do you? Stupid people don't know they're stupid, which is why stupidity is different from ignorance.

Why are you always going on about why America doesn't live up to your wants? Why do you always want to push Euro laws upon us?

My two 1993 vehicles both have side turn signal indicators though I don't see the real importance. I don't like the amber ones as they are distracting. The flashing red indicators are just fine as only one side blinks at a time. If lights are burnt out and drivers don't replace them, an office should pull the driver over to inform them of so. One time of that happening makes one cognizant of the fact they can burn out. I replace all of mine any time I replace one. It costs about $30 to do my Caddie and around $20 for my truck but I know they are done.

We live in America, take your socialist opinions back to Europe.

I would like to see wrap around turn signals--ones you could see from the front & side, and from the back & side. If you're not directly in front of or behind a vehicle, it's hard to see some turn signals (when used) if they don't wrap around the vehicle.

I'm also in favor of amber not clear (white?) or red turn signals--especially for rear blinkers. I like the turn signals on the side mirrors. Makes it easier to see a vehicle starting to turn.
