      Lol they have turn signals, big ones, with their left arm. Of course, they need to actually use the signal…

        And the mirror? But sorry, there’s a reason we don’t stick large mannequin hands on cars, never mind that it forces driver to hold the handlebar with one arm as they have to prepare for a turn.

        If you think hand signals are a substitute for turn signals and make no note for mirrors, you don’t drive, period. As someone who drives and bikes, I can tell you that cars pay a lot more attention when you put in the effort.

          You can literally buy a mirror that attaches to your handlebar… I don’t know what you are getting so worked up about.

            Which is what I’m saying people should do. You can also literally buy turn signals, for your helmet or bicycle. They just aren’t required.

            Bicycles should have mirrors and turn signals for this reason IMO.

            Reading comprehension, it’s hard. Then again, this is fuckcars.
