Montreal driver accidentally discovers turn signal while reaching for latte - The #Beaverton https://www.thebeaverton.com/2017/10/montreal-accidentally-discovers-turn-signal-reaching-latte/ “MONTREAL – Driver Claude Williams was surprised to discover the #TurnSignal on his Toyota RAV4 – a feature of his car thus far unknown to him and most #MontrealDrivers – while reaching for his first pumpkin spice latte of the season.”

Not just Montreal 🤣

I’m not here to judge. But if you’re in the left turn lane with your right blinker on when you’re really going straight, it’s not helpful. To anyone at all.

This will grind @TechConnectify's gears. Seen today, a #Kia Sportage with a #TurnSignal separate from the brake indicator, but they still put a RED lens on it!

WHY?

(Only thing more atrocious is #Adobe Rush not having tracking graphics to obfuscate the license plate...hence the comically massive blob. Sorry for this crime against video production.)

I am flabbergasted by this really awful design for the Mini Cooper rear turn signals. There are arrows incorporated into the design of the lenses, but they point the opposite way from what would make sense. The left turn signal has an arrow that points to the right, and the right signal points left. Who the hell designed these? How did they make it through a design review?

use your #TurnSignal 100ft before turning, or just do whatever the F you want because you're cutting through the school parking lot like you were on a bike anyway.

@jazzhampton Hello!

Hashtags are the only way for people to find this outside of my limited, largely non-US audience.

As someone who has done such good work with making such an essential app, you should probably be known to:

Hope this finds you some support and connections!

Annoy Yourself into Better Driving with This Turn Signal Monitor

Something like 99% of the people on the road at any given moment will consider themselves an above-average driver, something that's as statistically impossible as it is easily disproven by casual observation. Drivers make all kinds of mistakes, but perhaps none as annoying and avoidable as failure to use their turn signal. This turn signal monitor aims to fix that, through the judicious use of negative feedback.

Apparently, [Mark Radinovic] feels that he has a predisposition against using his turn signal due to the fact that he drives a BMW. To break him of that habit, one that cost him his first BMW, he attached Arduino Nano 33 BLEs to the steering wheel and the turn signal stalk. The IMUs sense the position of each and send that over Bluetooth to an Arduino Uno WiFi. That in turn talks over USB to a Raspberry Pi, which connects to the car's stereo via Bluetooth to blare an alarm when the steering wheel is turned but the turn signal remains untouched. The video below shows it in use; while it clearly works, there are a lot of situations where it triggers even though a turn signal isn't really called for -- going around a roundabout, for example, or navigating a sinuous approach to a drive-through window.

While [Mark] clearly built this tongue firmly planted in cheek, we can't help but think there's a better way -- sniffing the car's CANbus to determine steering angle and turn signal status comes to mind. This great workshop on CANbus sniffing from last year's Remoticon would be a great place to start if you'd like a more streamlined solution than [Mark]'s.
