I have a problem with signaling other drivers. Especially in roundabouts (explanation here) other cars will wait for me, and then I turn out of the roundabout before passing them. Causing a mild an unnecessary delay in their day, and I getting hate for it.

I am using the turn signal, and I can see it in reflective surfaces, its quite strong. But the main headlight is even stronger, and for other drivers its nearly invisible. I met another Lightning today, in the dark, head on, and I knew he was blinking, and still I could barely see it.

My previous car dimmed the headlight on the side the turn light was blinking, so other drivers had two visual cues. The dimming, and the bright orange blinky thing.

Can we enable dimming on the Lightning as well?

I signal at every roundabout and sometimes get the weirdest looks. It’s like a cross between appreciation and absolute confusion about why someone would signal an exit from the roundabout. But then very few people in my state seem to understand how roundabouts work at all, much less how useful a signal is.

I wished I live in a country where people actually know how to navigate into and thru a roundabout. Many are the times where some damned fool will stop in the circle as if to yield to those coming into the circle when it's the exact opposite.

Once you're in the circle, you DON'T STOP, you keep going thru and out, you have the right of way.

We are fined if we not blink out of a roundabout. But there is of course nobody around to write the tickets. But the rules are clear. Drivers of BMWs and Teslas are notorious for not blinking, and hate is projected and zero f… given.

I despise being placed with the BMWs and Teslas, and I need a fix :)
