And it's also red. I hate red turning indicators, they should be amber.
I think, if you put them together, it's supposed to be a Union Jack?
Leave it to brits to install right indicator on the left side
I don't get it... What's wrong with it?
How do we know this isn't just someone on the brake where one bulb has blown?
I just like to tell the Americans that this is your fault. You have lacks traffic laws that allow this kind of thing. This isn't be legal in the UK.
Is it not valid to hang the Union Jack vertically, like a pennant? Mini could have just designed each light to be a complete flag, made the same reference, and not have everyone point and laugh at them.
Why would you ever click a link from hackers.town tho
It's supposed to represent the union jack. I understand how it could be frustrating though.
This has ALWAYS irritated me, THANK YOU!
Think of it as a chicken’s foot.

The car has_many places to be over that way.
Oh god, which way is it actually turning?
You could say that about anything that's broken though. .. this isn't a deflect caused by prioritising style to something else
